Larks at the Salcombe Gin Regatta

 

The annual Salcombe Gin Regatta is fast becoming one of the must do fixtures of the Lark calendar. A fantastic holiday town, beach fun at Mill Bay, navigating the beautiful Kingsbridge Estuary, not to mention the hot competition, it's easy to see the appeal.


UK holiday accommodation in 2021 has been hard to come by, but the Larks are a resourceful bunch and a raft of cruising yachts on the visitors moorings proved to be an ideal solution that looks to be repeated next year. Chris Allen had sailed from Hayling Island and tagged the regatta on the end of his family yachting holiday in the South West. Dan Watson and Flora Winter travelled the furthest, having sailed their yacht all the way from the East Coast.


This year's event featured a number of former Lark National champions drawn back to the fleet by a boat suited to all comers.

It was a week of two halves. The first four races were sailed in force 2 to 3, before the windier conditions kicked in for the final 2 days. Salcombe did not disappoint with ample opportunities for place changing and big leads diminished in the blink of an eye.
