Paignton Sailing Club are pleased to announce the revised date for their 2023 POSH regatta.

Nick Ripley, Paignton SC Sailing Commodore said, "Due to King Charles III Coronation, the sailing committee have decided to move our prestigious POSH regatta to the 20th and 21st May".

Paignton Open for Single Handers (POSH) was founded in 2012 and appeals to a range of high-performance single-handed dinghies and has also been adopted by many as a class open meeting. The regatta has gone from strength to strength with turnouts of around 100 boats with many classes incorporating the event in their traveller circuit.

Paignton Sailing Club is renowned for hosting high profile events with an enviable record, superb facilities and equipment and a world class Race Management team. The Race Officer for the 2023 event will be Ian Bullock again, a well known and highly experienced International Race Officer. The club itself is located on Paignton Harbour and has plenty of holiday accommodation and parking within walking distance. It is only a short distance away from Paignton's sandy beach, from where the dinghies will be launched, allowing the club to launch during any tide states onto the sheltered waters of picturesque Tor Bay.

Entry will be via the club website and will be opened shortly.
