Club Regatta 2025 at Overy Staithe Sailing Club - Preview

by Jennie Clark 17 Aug 23:36 BST 21-24 August 2025

Overy Staithe SC are gearing up for 4 days of regatta sailing, running from Thursday 21 to Sunday 24 August.

The Regatta, which is open to non members, begins with the Wilson-Stephens Trophy for under 17's. With a growing number of juniors racing at the club this promises to be a great race and we expect a good turnout with a mix of Toppers, Lasers and perhaps some double handers too.

Friday offers pursuit racing for the Crossley Holland Cup. The entry list always generates a degree of head scratching as to what is the slowest boat. The question this year is whether Mark Beck will make an appearance with the family Twinkle 10, which may be 'slow on handicap', but is always fast on the water.

On Saturday and Sunday there will be racing in defined 'fleets' - and we anticipate there being 7 separate starts, keeping Race Officers Andy Turner and Peter Beck on their toes! Traditionally these races finish off the quay which gives spectators a chance to watch the sailors battle wind, tide, moored boats, swimmers and paddleboarders as they head to the finish line.

Sunday sees racing for the Haines Cup, and a chance to fund-raise for the RNLI. The regatta prize-giving will be held on Tuesday, after the club's long distance 'Nod Race'.
