KON-TIKI RAFT RACE IS BACK!
Got lockdown lethargy? Can’t wait to get back in amongst the action? Like water, and silliness?

REGATTA 2021
We welcome the latest UK Government announcements and the setting out of the country’s roadmap return to normality. The Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta Committee is pleased to say we are continuing to work alongside all the relevant authorities with the ambition of running the 176th Dartmouth Regatta this summer.
OUR ANNUAL PUBLIC MEETING NEWS
We are full of anticipation at the thought of being able to host a Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta this year. After an ‘annus horribilis’ for everyone, but especially those of our community who are in the hospitality industry and of course those affected by the COVID pandemic, we think we could all do with something to look forward to.

#MYREGATTA WITH THE BOWDEN FAMILY
For all of us as a family Regatta always starts long before the last Friday in August. Vaughan is Vice chair of DARC and runs a safety boat for the skiff rowing on Thursday. Months of planning go into this event to ensure the 300 plus rowers enjoy a good day’s racing.
LOOKING BACK AND LOOKING FORWARD
Wow, hasn’t 2020 been the most unusual year here in Dartmouth for some time? The COVID pandemic has hit Dartmouth hard, with all of our town’s stand out events sadly having to cancel; not just the Regatta, but the Dart Music Festival and the Dartmouth Food Festival too.
