POSH Regatta - Paignton, Devon, UK
Paignton Open for Single Handed Dinghies (POSH) Regatta
Paignton Sailing Club, Torbay, Devon
20/21st May
Torbay is one of the UK's premier Championship venues with a fantastic sailing area on the sheltered waters of the English Riviera which we enjoyed for our UK Nationals in both 2016 and 2022.
With the RS Aero fleet growing locally and in the southwest we look forward to visiting Paignton SC again for their popular single hander event. Entries are split into several fleets.
The date is a little later than usual this year to avoid clashing with King Charles III Coronation.

The club is situated on Paignton Harbour and has plenty of parking within walking distance.
It is only a short walk from Paignton beach and the green, where boats are kept at main events.
Accommodation -
Along the Esplanade are many excellent hotels and B&B’s which will be super convenient as your RS Aero will be parked opposite on the green. You can then change and shower in your hotel, just yards from your boat and a short walk to the sailing club and bar!
Locally, there are many large hotel chains, including Premier Inn (15 minutes walk) and Travelodge (10 minutes walk) and a huge variety of bed and breakfast, smaller sized hotels and campsites within the area.

There are many local attractions including beaches, shopping, bars and restaurants all within walking distance
Roundham Head is just a five-minute walk and with a good pair of binoculars you can sit back and watch the on-water action!
Paignton and Goodrington Beach have the perfect sand for young children with buckets and spades! It is relatively shallow and usually staffed by local lifeguards.
There is a local zoo, steam trains to Kingswear and Dartmouth, coastal rambling and plenty of bay cruises to choose from.
