shaldon Regatta 2025
What a great regatta 2025 turned out to be. Although the weather at the beginning of the week meant the Long Distance Dawlish to Shaldon Row had to be run from up the river and we had very wet sailors in Otter dinghy racing the sun came out for the rest of the week. The beach was packed with competitors and supporters and rumours on the street (or beach) were that it was one of the best regattas yet!
What’s it all about?
Shaldon Regatta is over 200 years old and offers fun for all the family. We have 130 events, many of which are on the beach so even if you're not a rower or sailor you can still take part! There are individual events and team events as well as events for all abilities.
If you are not sure what it's all about just ask one of the friendly committee members at the committee stand or talk to one of the CREW (it's on their shirts) on the beach. We will give you every help and encouragement so you can take part. Don't forget equipment is provided for many events, including rowing, sailing and kayaking.
