Roll up, roll up! All members, their families and crew are invited to our VERY special celebration which promises to be the biggest and best regatta and party that our Club has seen in its one hundred year history!

At our Centenary Regatta Day and Après Sail Festival on Saturday 18th June there will be a multitude of activities and fun for all ages - both out on the water and ashore. Plus live music, delicious food, plenty to drink and fun games on the Bath Road Green - including the Centenary Haybale Games!

Whatever your age, sailing prowess, obstacle course agility or spectating ability, this memorable event is not to be missed! And we are delighted that our Patron, HRH The Princess Royal, will be joining our Centenary Regatta Day celebrations.

How to get involved...

First things first, on the water racing and activities are FREE for members to enter!!! It is imperative, however, that you register your entries for all participants before the event.

We also highly recommend that you purchase your tickets for the Après Sail Festival in advance. Advance tickets to the Après Sail Festival cost just £15 for adults and £6 for children. This includes your festival wristband, a commemorative programme, live music, ashore games, a hot drink and cake on your return to shore and tickets that can be exchanged for food from a variety of different stalls during the event. Child tickets include a “child size” portion of food. We recommend purchasing adult tickets for teenagers who are likely to have larger appetites!
