Sail West  

Regatta season, white sails above sparkling blue water, creaking cleats and jumping jibs…

Regattas are a popular part of the West Country calendar in the summer months. They usually run for several days and provide a focus for street music and processions, lots of food and drink and general jollification as well as the central issue of yacht and boat racing. Sometimes there are even displays by the Red Arrows which can be very dramatic over a sparkling sea or estuary.

Here are the dates of a few:

 
Salcombe Regatta 1st - 7th August, Falmouth Sailing Week 5th - 13th August, Appledore Regatta Week 7th – 13th August, Fowey Royal Regatta 14th – 20th August, Dartmouth Regatta 24th - 28th August.

The Red Arrows are at Fowey, Sidmouth and Dartmouth and the exact dates are on their website at www.raf.mod.uk/reds.

Also, from 17th – 18th June, the Tall Ships are in Falmouth and later in September they are in Torbay.

More immediate events in June include the Polperro Festival from 18th – 26th and Mazey Day in Penzance which includes spectacular fireworks on 24th.
