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.
NPT Management Systems are based in Netley Abbey, near Southampton. Click here to learn more about us and how we help local businesses to achieve ISO certification.
As a proud Hampshire-based company, we at NPT Management Systems like to do what we can to support the local community in Southampton and the surrounding area. In addition to working with numerous local businesses and helping them to achieve ISO 9001 certification, we have provided hi-vis jackets to the Hamble River Sailing Club's Junior Sailing group; we have sponsored events at the River Hamble Games; and, most recently, we lent our support to Hamble Lifeboat by sponsoring a page in their 2018 calendar.

Established in 1968, Hamble Lifeboat do great work saving lives on the Solent coast.

The Hamble Lifeboat team work at all hours of the day and night, 365 days a year, even in the worst weather conditions.
NPT Management Systems have sponsored the January page of this year's calendar, which is now on sale for just £5. All proceeds go towards helping Hamble Lifeboat save lives and continue their good work for years to come.

Last year, we at NPT Management Systems decided to sponsor Junior Sailing at the local Hamble River Sailing Club. As a show of support for this great local youth group, we very proudly provided the club with a number of high-visibility jackets for the instructors and other helpers to wear while in action.
As you can see, our branded hi-vis jackets (as modelled in the image above by our Principal Consultant Neil Peattie) are still in use almost a year later. The above photograph was taken a couple of weeks ago, when the club's youth section sailed up the River Hamble to nearby Bursledon Beach.
It was great to catch up with the HRSC, and we were very happy to learn that the jackets are still benefiting the club!
Why do we sponsor the Hamble River Sailing Club?
As we've mentioned many times before on this blog, we at NPT Management Systems have close ties to the marine sector here in the South of England. Many of our ISO certification clients come from the marine industry, and we have proven again and again that we are the best company for these jobs.
Furthermore, we love supporting the local community, and we felt that this would be a great way to do so. Neil is the parent of children who sail on the River Hamble, and so this particular cause is very close to his heart!
