Battle of Britain Regatta

Battle of Britain Regatta – 2022

After much deliberation the Club has made the decision to cancel this year’s regatta out of respect for our beloved Queen.

This includes the Breakfast Bap service, the Saturday evening Buffet with live Band and the Sunday afternoon BBQ.

Those of you that have paid your entry or paid for meals will be refunded by the Office this week.

Welcome to this year’s Open Invitation Regatta on 17^th and 18^th September, returning to our established format for the IRC and XOD classes, with three races scheduled for Saturday and two on Sunday, for the cruising sailors we have a timed trial on each day to allow your competitive spirits to flow without the stress of a formal race start!

As is our long-standing practice this regatta is held on the nearest weekend to the 15^th September, which is seen as the turning point in the air war with the Luftwaffe, it is to commemorate the role the RAF played in that campaign, to recognise the losses for all and the hope it brought for the future, something for us to reflect on in these current times.

With this year being the Club’s 90^th Anniversary the shoreside activities have been expanded to celebrate the event, with a beer festival starting Friday, hot buffet and live music Saturday evening, a Sunday luncheon,  presentation to past Commodores and BBQ for the crews returning from their second day on the water.

Sailing Instructions – will be published prior to the event
