Dartmouth Royal Regatta

Regattas have flourished along the English south coast since the early 1820s, with Dartmouth being recognised as a key player on ‘the regatta circuit’ since 1822. The dramatic cliffs around the mouth of the River Dart (The Range) form a beautiful natural theatre with many vantage points from where the sailing races can be easily seen. Since 1822, The Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta has grown extensively – it now offers an extraordinary mix of high-class competitive sailing and rowing, with a plethora of diverse social events and activities. Dartmouth Royal Regatta Sailing Week (organised by the Joint Regatta Sailing Committee – JRSC) represents the sailing elements of The Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta.
