Paignton Open for Single Handed Dinghies (POSH)

About

Multi-class open meeting for all single-handed dinghies with a PY number equal to, or less than, that of a Laser 4.7. The 2025 event also includes the Blaze Fire National Championship.

The entry fee includes Saturday evening social event held at the Paignton Sailing Club with additional tickets available for non-sailors.

Paignton Open for Single Handers (POSH) was founded in 2012 as a replacement for our Spring Regatta. This unique format appeals to a range of high-performance single-handed dinghies and has been adopted by many as a class open meeting. The regatta has gone from strength to strength with turnouts of around 100 boats with many classes incorporating their UK National Championships. This has included the RS Vereo class, the Byte class and more recently the Fire class.

Paignton Sailing Club is renowned for hosting high-profile events with an enviable record, superb facilities and equipment, and a world-class Race Management team. The club itself is located on the Paignton Harbour and has plenty of parking within walking distance. It is only a short distance away from Paignton Beach, from where the dinghies will be launched, allowing us to launch during any tide state into the sheltered waters of Tor Bay.
