The Bavaria, Legend and Island Packet Owners' Associations all run a comprehensive events programme throughout the year which provide an excellent platform for owners to enjoy social and sailing events.

The Bavaria Owners' Association runs a packed programme of rallies at
various locations around the UK. The events calendar runs from April to
October with this year's main event taking place on Saturday 28th June at
the Lymington Yacht Haven where a BBQ will be held for participants. UK
