Roll Up to Lymington Dinghy Regatta - 18/19 July
Building on the success of the first two years, the Lymington Dinghy Regatta will welcome visitors and local boats on 18/19 July. Two courses, eight class starts and three races scheduled each day in the Solent should make for a great weekend of racing. But the main reason people come to the Lymington Dinghy Regatta is the legendary tea and doughnuts after racing, and there will be more than ever this year.
Lymington has the biggest RS Aero fleet in the country, loads of RS400s, a few RS500s and RS800s, and is keen to welcome any dinghies in the Portsmouth Yardstick fleets.
The regatta, which is hosted jointly by the Lymington Town Sailing Club and Royal Lymington Yacht Club, nearly hit its 120-boat entry limit last year. So sign up early to get a discount on the entry fees and a chance to win a bottle of Champagne.
