Yarmouth Gaffers Regatta

22 – 25 May 2026

Join in for the 30th anniversary of the Yarmouth Gaffers Regatta, a proper celebration of traditional gaff-rigged boats, community spirit and beautiful West Wight sailing.

Expect a lively mix of boat racing, social get-togethers and Cornish-Meets-the-Solent charm, all set against the maritime backdrop of Yarmouth harbour.

You’ll enjoy:

• Classic gaff-rigged yacht races across a scenic Solent course, perfect for sailing fans and families alike
• Live music, welcoming social events and community-run stalls giving the festival a friendly, village-by-the-sea feel
• An opportunity to mingle with fellow sailing lovers from skippers to casual onlookers and soak up the heritage atmosphere
