Entries open for the International Paint Poole Regatta 2022

The 2022 regatta takes place from the 30th April to 2nd May with over 150 yachts in eighteen classes expected to race for the Canford Cup. Dating back to 1849, the cup is one of the most historic trophies in yacht racing and is awarded bi-annually at Poole. Organisers say the regatta has become renowned for excellent race management with professional and amateur sailors racing alongside each other over five courses in the harbour and out across the bay.

“The International Paint Poole Regatta will be the first large event of 2022 and the perfect tune up regatta for what we all hope will finally be a full season of racing,” says Andrew Pearce, regatta president. “The committee, made up of volunteers from the combined yacht clubs of Poole, have worked tirelessly through the many challenges of the last two years to organise what is shaping up to be a great regatta and I wish to thank everyone involved for their hard work.”

Entries for the International Paint Poole Regatta 2022 are now open with early bird entry fees available before midnight on the 20th March.
