The Dartmouth Regatta is open to anyone with some experience in sailing and would put themselves at a competent crew or above. Ideally, you’ll have past racing experience but not essential. At LSS we believe the attitude to contribute and learn is the most important.

The event starts in Hamble on the morning of Tuesday 22 August and until Tuesday 29 August (please count on afternoon arrival)

You will be racing on one of LSS’s regular boats, most likely Kindred Spirit, a race-prepped Sigma 38, but others are possible too.

The boats are:

Kindred Spirit - Sigma 38

Kotari - Jeanneau 49

Playing Around - First 40.7

Red Hawk - First 36.7

The boats are based on the River Hamble.

Kindred Spirit is at Deacons Boatyard, in Bursledon.

The Solent, which the River Hamble is on the Northern edge of, is the perfect training area between Southampton Water and the Isle of Wight.

Notorious for consistent winds, wicked tides, and a gorgeous variety of harbours, rivers and anchorages to visit.

An average week will see you visit any of the below:

• Cowes

• Yarmouth

• Beaulieu river

• Lymington

• The Needles & Alum Bay

• Newtown Creek

• Portsmouth

• Wooton Creek

• Osbourn Bay

• Langstone Harbour

• Chichester Harbour

  and many other little anchorages.

During the event, accommodation on the boat is provided. However, LSS do provide an onshore accomodation option for £300 per person, which will be in the centre of town. Please indicate it in your booking form if you are keen on this option.

If you’ve enjoyed it and want to continue to build your racing skills, we’d recommend that you keep an eye on the LSS website. Maybe you’d like to try something more offshore like a cross channel race weekend?

We will be in marinas and harbours every day most likely so you won’t need to shower on the boat. The boats are fitted with a functional toilet, sink, showers and kitchen (galley) for cooking.
