On Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd March 2025, the Royal Southern Yacht Club held a 'rock up and race' event called the Boysterous Cup. Ten J/70 teams competed in 26 races over the course of the weekend...and the whole thing was sponsored by NPT Management Systems!
Our support helped to make the Boysterous Cup a smashing success. The overall winners were the Royal Southern Junior Academy Green Team—or the dream team, as they'll be known from now on—who triumphed over a number of experienced university sailing teams to take the cup. Talk about rocking the boat!
Aside from the superb displays out on the water, one of the most enjoyable parts of the whole weekend was the 'Boysterous Bash' on Saturday night. It was a great time for everyone in attendance, complete with beers, burgers and fries—plus a bad shirt competition!
Thanks to NPT's contribution, the Saturday night social also included a karaoke evening. We were holding out hope for a rendition of 'Sailing' by Rod Stewart, but perhaps everyone thought that would be a little too obvious.
All in all the weekend went swimmingly, and we can't wait for the next big event at Royal Southern.
DID YOU KNOW? This isn't the first time we have supported Royal Southern. Last September, we sponsored Splash Week—several days of fun activities for children and teens, including sailing lessons and boat races as well as movie nights, fancy dress parties and more.

A quality management system (QMS) is not a set-and-forget strategy that will magically improve your business with zero input from you and your team.
Once you have designed and documented your QMS, it should be implemented throughout your entire organisation and reviewed regularly to ensure that it is fit for purpose. This is how you will achieve continual improvement and maximum customer satisfaction.

Regular internal audits are key to ensuring that your organisation is meeting its quality objectives. But as costs continue to rocket up, UK businesses are quite understandably trying to save money wherever they can.
Unfortunately, this means that many companies are not able to employ permanent, full-time quality management specialists right now. The inevitable result: quality management slips down the list of priorities and the organisation falls behind on its internal audit schedule.
How NPT Management Systems can help with internal audits
If you require assistance with your internal quality audits, we at NPT Management Systems can provide a variety of internal audit resources to help you out.
We can...
- Conduct an independent assessment of your business and its quality management system
- Offer expert advice and recommendations
- Provide internal audit resources to keep you on schedule and on target
- Assist with planning and executing business improvements and future audits
Our flexible internal audit services are available on a contract or one-off basis, so instead of finding room in your budget to hire a permanent quality management officer, you can make use of our expertise as and when you need it.
Get in touch today to discuss your internal auditing requirements with an experienced quality management specialist.
