We warmly welcome visitors to our regattas and try our best to deliver a great mix of sailing and social events.
The earliest recorded Babbacombe Regatta was in 1820 when it was won by Mr T Cary. These first Regattas were modest affairs and attracted mostly local sailors and crew. However, the Regatta assumed more importance when a committee was set up in 1870. Their enthusiasm soon ensured that the Babbacombe Regatta became an essential part of Torbay’s sailing calendar. The Committee meets annually to ensure the continued success of this two-day event.
For any spectator, Oddicombe is a great place to spend a day. In addition to our own stocked galley, there is a very popular cafe/bar called Three Degrees West and a pub on an adjacent beach called The Cary Arms. Please note that dogs are not allowed on the beach this time of year.
BCSC Perpetual Trophies and Certificates will be presented to all race winners. Silver Dinghy Pursuit race: First Prize, Second Prize, Third Prize.
