British yachtsmen planning to cruise through Channel Island waters this summer are invited to take part in one of the oldest sailing events in the British Isles - the Jersey Electricity Gorey Regatta.

Established in 1857, the 168th event will take place over the weekend of 18/20 July and feature races for dinghies, cruising and racing yachts, sports catamarans and dayboats. In addition there are social events including a prize-giving dinner on the Sunday evening.

'We extend a warm welcome to any yachtsmen cruising Channel Island waters in July to come and join our historic regatta, held in the beautiful Royal Bay of Grouville beneath the stunning ramparts of the 13th century Mont Orgueil Castle,' said Gorey Regatta Association Captain Justin Horton.

'Boats that can take the ground can stay at Gorey while those that can't can join the fleet from St Helier who race to and from the regatta each year.'

The racing programme and entry details can be found at www.goreyregatta.org

The closing date for entries is Monday 14 July.
