Beer is at least as key as sailing at any decent sailing event

The problem with Aberdovey is that, while it's a lovely little town with loads of accommodation and easy launching off the beach, you can miss whole days of sailing in excellent conditions if you can't get over the sand bar across the mouth of the estuary.

Not exactly undiscovered but perhaps under appreciated- the Thanet clubs of Broadstairs, Margate and Minnis Bay.

Ilfracombe could be a great North Devon venue I recon, small yacht club there, sheltered launching but not much dinghy sailing on show.

I'm just back from a fantastic sea sailing regatta event in South Wales, where the number of members needed for committee boat/rescue was huge. We visitors enjoyed it for sure. If it had been some fleets nationals, I'd have been happy, plenty space out there for everyone. Four one-hour races, I asked for water once and windward boat once. Big fleets-Toppers, Solos etc need special events, smaller classes there's plenty opportunity to share

Oh and having a club onhand for showers/beer etc was totally essential

I understand what you say; but. 2 weeks ago, just down the coast from Hope Cove, at Bantham they held a Tribal Clash event.[ Crossfit team competion]. Very much a pop up event and apparently a great success. I know there is a big difference between 300 young people and 30 Solo sailors but itdoes show it could be done if you really wanted to.
I am sure Davidyacht would be PRO and would bring his launch for rescue purposes
