Salcombe Town Regatta 2025
The dates for the Salcombe Town Regatta Dinghy Racing 2025 are Monday 11th - Friday 15th August.
There are five days of great sailing scheduled for everyone, with four days of fleet racing to determine the overall winners of the various fleets followed by the Pursuit Races Adult and Junior on the final Friday.
All competitors and their families are honorary members of Salcombe Yacht Club for the week so if you are spectating rather than competing, there is no better place to watch than from the terrace of the Club. There you will find a warm welcome extended by the bar staff with hot and cold drinks available all morning and lunch from 12pm.
The Town Regatta sailing programme emphasises the fun side of dinghy racing and there is no better example of this than the Pursuit Races on Friday. For those not familiar with the format, starting times are staggered to take account of the speed of different types of boat and the boat that is leading when the finishing canon is fired after 90 minutes is the winner. Plus, of course, there is the fancy dress competition to decide the best dressed crews of the day!
All in all, a great week of sailing with plenty of camaraderie on and off the water.
If you purchase a Mill Bay boat parking ticket whilst entering online, please collect a sticker for your boat from the SYC office. Stickers will also be available at the Welcome Reception. Stickers must be clearly visible when your boat cover is on.
