Torbay Week is fast proving to be one of the most popular regattas on the south coast. Sailors of all classes flock to the English Riviera, ready to pit their wits and skills against each other in exciting races, and the event regularly attracts national and international sailing championships. There are plenty of vantage points around the bay, giving everyone the chance to see seamanship at its best.

Visiting sailors are warmly welcomed into the yacht and sailing clubs at Torquay, Paignton, Brixham and Babbacombe with the clubs providing post-race entertainment throughout the week. Within 4 courses out in the bay, there will be several IRC fleets, non-rated yachts, Sonatas, Day Boats and Sportsboats as well as mixed dinghy handicap and junior dinghy fleets. Two National Championships are also planned as part of the event. The Notice of Race and Entry Forms can be downloaded from www.torbayweek.co.uk. The challenges end with the traditional Passage Race to Dartmouth, ready for the Dartmouth Regatta the following week.

The great thing for visitors is that, whether you’re a boating fanatic or a real land-lubber, there’s as much going on onshore as there is on the waves, for Torbay Week coincides with the Torbay Royal Regatta.
