Notices to Mariners
As well as recreational craft, there are a large number of commercial movements, with high-speed ferries, vehicle ferries, and commercial shipping up to 100m in length moving in and out of the harbour and river. In this busy marine environment it is essential for everyone's safety and enjoyment that all water users understand how to navigate safely in a crowded river and harbour, and know the local regulations. To review the comprehensive list of all active Local Notices to Mariners visit the ABP Southampton Website.

Regatta Signing-On
The Cowes Classics Regatta signing-on process has been moved online.
Competitors should log in and provide the required crew information before attending the Regatta Race Office where they can collect their Race Packs.
To find your signing-on form you must first 'LOG IN'. Once logged in the main menu link ‘SIGN-ON' will appear.
You do not need to complete the Sign-On form in one go as you can return to complete missing details or perhaps make a crew change right up until Regatta Registration closes.
