SAIL TO REWARD 2025
We are absolutely delighted to announce that the third Sail to Reward Regatta raised an incredible, record-breaking total of more than £25,500! 15 teams took to the water with South Coast CPS taking the crown and securing the coveted Mermaid Gin trophy, while Nici Hotels claimed first place in the bigger boat category. An unforgettable day on the water – featuring neck-and-neck races, fierce competition and a small collision! – was followed by a fantastic evening of food and fundraising at Harbour Hotel Southampton.
A huge, huge thanks to everyone who made such an incredible day possible. We are immensely grateful to Simon Boulding and the wonderful team at Prometheus Sailing for such an incredible event, the amazing team at Harbour Hotel Southampton for a memorable evening, everyone at Mermaid Gin for being fantastic headline sponsors, Keith Boxall and Elliott Hunter for capturing such brilliant images and videos, our wonderful event sponsors, supporters, auction prize donors, everyone who bought a boat and came to dinner.
We are a small charity and the staggering amount of money raised will help us make a real difference to charities, communities and the Hidden Heroes who do so much for them. Enjoy some pictures of the day, an incredible video and find out more about the wonderful people who made it happen below.

Paralympic Gold Medallist, Marathon extraordinaire and England Athletics Hall of Famer Richard Whitehead MBE was unfortunately unable to join us for the evening. However, he did kindly send us this message on the importance and impact of volunteering on Grassroots Sport* and the influence volunteers have had on his own amazing career. Thanks Richard!
