The Brixham Heritage Regatta including the Classic Boat Race has its roots in the Sailing Trawler races that have been held in Torbay since the early 1800’s. In 1914, King George V presented the Perpetual Challenge Trophy also popularly known as the 'King George V Cup' or the 'Kings Cup', to be raced for by Brixham registered sailing trawlers over 40 tons. This was competed for annually from 1919 until 1939 when the war ended racing, it was not re-started for almost 60 years.
The Brixham Heritage Sailing Regatta was revived in 1997 and is traditionally held on the Friday and Saturday of the late May Bank Holiday, but this will change for one year in 2012. The Bank Holiday is being moved next year to be included in a four day weekend to allow for the celebration of Her Majesty the Queens Diamond Jubilee. Consequently, the 2012 Heritage Regatta will take place over the Jubilee weekend, on the Friday 1st and Saturday 2nd June. Under the organisation of the Heritage Sailing Committee, the event will once again be hosted by Brixham Yacht Club.
