Salcombe Yacht Club Open Regatta - Salcombe YC, Devon, UK

 

Don't miss the Salcombe Gin SYC 2026 Regatta, 02-07 August.

Following the huge success of our 2025 Regatta, we're excited to make 2026 even bigger and better!

If you've never experienced Salcombe's superb sailing or it's been a while since your last visit,  2026 is the perfect time to join us.

Renowned for some of the best sailing conditions in the UK, Salcombe is also a haven of stunning beaches, crystal-clear waters and hidden coves, making it just as enjoyable for spectators as it is for competitors.

We welcome all classes of boats, and if you can gather enough of your fleet, we'll be delighted to offer a dedicated class start just for you.

From our Club Terrace, enjoy uninterrupted views of the Start/Finish Line while relaxing with a hot drink, a cocktail, or a delicious lunch.

Our evening programme promises something for everyone, with our famous Pig Racing, quiz nights, BBQs and live music. Our talented chef caters for all dietary requirements and provides a special Cadet Menu for younger sailors.

We are delighted that the Salcombe Distilling Company are once again sponsoring this fantastic event, and we are extremely proud to continue our partnership with them.

Make 2026 the year for the whole family to enjoy exceptional sailing, a vibrant community, and the natural beauty of Salcombe and SYC.

Batson Public Slipway at Creek Car Park (TQ8 8DU) at the northern edge of Salcombe is where launching, boat storage, car parking and the race briefing all usually place.

Salcombe Yacht Club is a pleasant 15 minute walk through Salcombe and the SYC start line is a transit across the estuary next to the club.

There are numerous B&Bs, Hotels and AirBnBs in Salcombe but it can be a sought after destination and availability may be limited so do book early!
