Regatta Week

Our 2024 Regatta Week once again had an excellent turnout.  Lots of families joined in the sailing and social activities and the racing was both competitive and enjoyable. Let’s hope our recent run of luck with good regatta weather continues into 2025 when we re-group from Sunday August 10th to Thursday August 14th. Put it in your diary!

The Regatta will consist of racing, fun activities and social events with 2 races each day for the main Regatta series and then a series of individual trophy races on Thursday 14th August. 

Racing is open to visitors and club members, with fleets organised into Fast, Medium and Slow handicap.  The classes / PY handicaps qualifying for each fleet will be dependent on the number of entries from each class and so competitors will be told in which fleet they are racing at the briefing prior to the Regatta start. The DYC Regatta is always a fun week and under 18s are particularly encouraged to participate. Club boats are available to hire. Options to hire include Topper, Argo, Feva and Laser.

Racing will start at a different time each day due to the tide so please check the Club Programme or the Notice of Race for daily first start times and the times of high water.  Races are normally held back-to-back each day with the aim of finishing roughly when the tide turns at High Water.

Notice of Race and Sailing Instructions along with an online entry form will appear on this page nearer to the event.
