Poole Yacht Club Regatta

The Poole Yacht Club Regatta is the racing and social highlight of the year.

It starts on Friday evening with a fun dinghy pursuit race, followed by food and socialising in the bar.

Saturday and Sunday daytime consists of lots of dinghy sailors of all levels competing/having fun on the water. There will be beach games for the children who are not sailing.

Saturday evening consists of the 'Twilight Pursuit Race' for cruisers, followed by a party with live music by the Fire Fighters.

In order to run this event, we need lots of volunteers both on and off the water.

If you could volunteer, please email Carolyn: regatta@pooleyc.co.uk for more information.

It is not too late to sponsor the Poole Yacht Club Regatta. If you are interested in sponsoring the event, prices start at £75. Click the link or email carolyn: regatta@pooleyc.co.uk for more details.

Throughout the weekend, we have PYC member Amy Sparks and her ‘You Row Girl’ team selling homemade cakes (cash only). Please bake a cake or two (provide a list of the ingredients) and bring them in on Friday or Saturday of the regatta. You Row Girl will also be setting a challenge of who can row 100m in the fastest time. Amy and her team will be rowing across the Atlantic in December 2026; you may have already noticed their boat in the yard.

Thank you to everyone who has already entered the regatta. The regatta is FREE for all members to enter (you don’t have to have paid racing/social sailing/training fees). However, an entry is needed even if you only race in the Friday pursuit.
