Events Calendar 2024
While we do our best to get the details right – do check with the organisers.
It is the first edition of what we hope will be an annual Calendar.
The events listed are those suggested by Members of AYH.
If you are aware of other events that might be of interest to members, please let us know.
In addition, and recognising our international membership, the Classic Yacht Info website lists events in all five oceans:
