After racing you can enjoy a sundowner on the club balcony with its stunning harbour views, whilst the children play with their friends.

The Regatta took place from 30 July to 8 August and, as lockdown restrictions had been lifted, it attracted around 120 boats sailing within ten classes. The combined Mirror, Topper, Tera fleet was the largest with some 35 entrants of which 21 were Mirrors with visitors trailing their boats from a variety of sailing clubs.
