For sailors keen to ride the waves during the event, which runs
from Friday 20th until Wednesday 25th August, entry can be made
using the online booking system on the Torbay Week website www.torbayweek.co.uk
, or manually by sending an application form –
downloadable from the website - to the sailing administration
department at the Royal Torbay Yacht Club, Beacon Terrace, Torquay,
TQ1 2BH. |
The
regatta boasts one of the best value-for-money championships
on the south coast, with early entries starting at just £25
for a dinghy, £65 for a PY cruiser and £75 for an
IRC cruiser. In addition, Torbay Harbour Authority is offering
free yacht berthing at town moorings, as well as free launching
for dinghies.
Last year, over 700 competitors
took part in Torbay Week from across the country. The event,
run by the Torbay Week Management Group on behalf of Babbacombe
Corinthian Sailing Club, Brixham Yacht Club, Paignton Sailing
Club, and Royal Torbay Yacht Club, includes a four day yachting
championship and a full social programme of entertainment.
Torbay Week director,
David Homer, praised the way the four clubs have worked together
again in order to ensure a world class event for the south coast.
“We've consistently received
great feedback from competitors about the standard of racing
at Torbay Week. We're extremely fortunate to have world class
race officers in Torbay who together with all our volunteers
will again be running a fantastic event.”
Torbay Week is supported
by the English Riviera Tourist Board and Torbay Harbour Authority.
