Weymouth Regatta is planned to take place on 31 May and 1 June 2025. We are delighted to be hosting the national Mixed Championships on Saturday 31st, which has been rebranded the Mixed Grand Prix and running in an exciting new format.

With over 90 crews racing on the day expect a true battle to claim the new champions trophy. Crews from Devon, Cornwall, Dorset, Essex, Somerset, Hampshire, Bristol, Sussex, Italy and the Netherlands are all set to race on the Saturday.

The Sunday’s racing will see the more traditional Jurassic League meeting with clubs competing to win their individual categories and the the club with the best score will win the Tristan Johnson Cup.

Spectators can enjoy a first rate view of the course from the Nothe Gardens and are most welcome to use the facilities provided in our live site marquee.

The CPGA Open Series racing on day one is intended to be a mass participation event with any registered rower over the age of 16 being able to take part in any of the four rounds of the competition in the following locations building points for their boats along the way:

Mounts Bay - 8 June

Mevagissey - 22 June

Paignton - 18 August

Weymouth - 31 August

Full registration details for Weymouth Regatta will be sent before the end of July. But please see the expression of interest form below.

Our previous beach-based arrangements won't be possible this year, giving the number of tourists in the areas, so we are currently planning to move the regatta back to the historic harbour side of the town; as were the arrangements for the London 2012 Olympic Sailing Regatta. The maps (* to follow )show how we aim to provide a first rate spectator experience and launching arrangement.

What we need to know

To make this finals weekend the best possible event for visiting clubs, we would like to know some key information from you, such as:

Are you coming?
Will you need camping?
What might your club be interested in doing on the Sunday if you stay over?

The very short Expressions of Interest form linked below is for club chairs and secretaries and will help us in our planning ahead of full registration next month. We will only share this information with members of our regatta planning committee.
