River Exe Regatta, Exmouth

July 8, 2017 - July 10, 2017

RIVER EXE REGATTA, 8th and 9th July.

The River Exe Regatta is being hosted by Exe Sailing Club this year and is being held on 8th and 9th July.

There is an exciting programme of races at sea:

  • The first Cruiser Race starts at 11am on Saturday 8th July from the Safe Water Mark off Exmouth.
  • The races for catamarans and dinghies start from beyond Pole Sands at 13.30.
  • Various water based activities, Gig Racing and Kayaking will be held in the river outside Exe Sailing Club from 18.30 followed by music and then fireworks at 22.00.

On Sunday there will be:

  • cruiser pursuit races at 11.30 and 13.45 and
  • a pursuit race for dinghies starting at 14.00.
  • All the races on Sunday should finish at 1600 off the sea front.

It will certainly be worth going to watch.

The main sponsors of the River Exe Regatta this year are: Exe Sails, St Peter’s School, Tozers Solicitors, and Whitton & Laing.

The Regatta raises funds to support sail training on the Exe and each of the sailing clubs on the Exe take it in turns to host the event. Last year it was Lympstone Sailing Club and we were blessed with one of those perfect summer evenings which made for a fantastic party on the Saturday night -let’s hope Exe Sailing Club fares as well.
