About Dartmouth Classics
The Dartmouth Classics consists of two days of racing for classic yachts and dayboats (over 5.4 metres LOD) held in June or July each year. Racing takes place in Start Bay.
The event is alternately organised by the Royal Dart Yacht Club (RDYC) and the Classic Channel Regatta Ltd (CCR).
When run by the RDYC the Dartmouth Classics is a weekend event and is a standalone regatta. When run by the CCR it is part of the Classic Channel Regatta and is timed to allow the CCR to finish in Paimpol when the tides allow berthing for a fleet of up to 100 yachts.
In 2025 the Dartmouth Classics will take place between Friday 6th and Sunday 8th of June 2023. The event will be run by the RDYC.
In 2026 the Dartmouth Classics will take place in July. The event will be run by the CCR.
Both events are part of the Westcountry Classics Series which includes the Falmouth and Fowey Classic Regattas.
