ROWING & SAILING
Rowing and Sailing are at the very core of Dartmouth Regatta week, incorporating the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta. It is all about the river and the sea. The competition is fierce and the fun is full on against the magnificent, scenic backdrop that is the South Hams. The rowing includes local, WEARA and pilot gig competitions, all offering spectacular sport on the beautiful River Dart.
