Dinghy Events

2021 Dinghy Programme

Our first dinghy racing on the sea for the 2021 season should have been the Easter Regatta on Saturday 3 April but unfortunately lockdown won’t be lifted in time.  The Easter Regatta has been postponed until either Saturday 1 May or Saturday 15 May again dependent on when lockdown is lifted sufficiently to allow us hold the regatta.  The date will be confirmed nearer the time.

We hope to start our  Sunday racing on Sunday 25 April with the usual start time of 10.30 and this will run on a weekly basis until our final event, the Laser Regatta on either Saturday 9 or Sunday 10 October.

The Thursday Evening Series will hopefully start on 29 April with a 19.00 start, this will continue each week until the evenings draw in too much to make racing possible.
