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.

Here at NPT Management Systems, we love to contribute to our community. Not only have we helped countless Hampshire-based businesses to achieve ISO 9001 certification, we're also enthusiastic supporters of many local charities and organisations.
For example, we recently had the privilege of attending a charity ball organised by Ben's Heroes Trust, a charity that helps young cancer patients to access new treatments and enjoy a better quality of life. We were thrilled to show our support and make a donation - the 'Captain's Table' event was a huge success and the money raised came to more than £6,500!

We have also historically supported sporting events like the River Hamble Games, which will be taking place on the shore of the Hamble this weekend. We've previously sponsored the volleyball event, and we're immensely looking forward to hearing about this year's games - we're sure they'll be a smashing success once again.
