The Regatta Week
Racing taken seriously enough to be fun, and not seriously enough to spoil dinner.
Reserve A PlaceAsk A Question- A small flotilla racing short daily courses
- Mixed crews, redrawn through the week
- Coaching aboard for anyone who has not raced
- Every guest given a real job
- Dinners ashore as one long table
- A genuinely poor trophy
Racing sharpens everything. You learn more about a boat in one afternoon of trying to beat somebody than in a week of motoring between restaurants.
This is a friendly regatta across a small flotilla — a short course most days, mixed crews so nobody stacks a boat, and a result that matters exactly until dinner. Experienced sailors will find it real. First-timers will be given a job, taught it properly, and will be trimming by day three.
There is a trophy. It is not a good trophy.
How The Days Run
- Day One
- Split. Boarding, crew draw, and a practice start before dinner.
- Day Two
- First race. Everybody learns their job properly.
- Day Three
- The long course out to the outer islands.
- Day Four
- Crews redrawn. The standings stop making sense.
- Day Five
- A day off the water. Swimming and a very long lunch.
- Day Six
- Final race, then prize-giving ashore.
- Day Seven
- Return to Split.
What The Price Covers
- Seven nights aboard in a private cabin
- All racing, coaching and crew organisation
- All meals aboard and dinners ashore
- Skippers and crew across the flotilla
- Harbour and berth fees
Afterwards
The results, the photographs, and the standing grudge that brings most of the fleet back the following year.
