Torbay Sailing Regatta
Yachts and dinghies jostle for position during a fortnight of regatta racing.

Overview
A beach holiday shows our sailors at Beacon Cove with beach huts and spa. The Brixham Sailing Regatta and the 12ft National Dinghy Championships at Torquay are part of the Torbay fortnight and run by the Torbay Sailing Association, which includes clubs from Dartmouth, Teignmouth and the Torbay area and is usually held in the last two weeks of August. In 1948 Olympic Sailing Events were held in Torbay and in 2012 they were held in Weymouth in Dorset.
The film opens on the English Riviera and views of the Princess Pier which was built in 1890. The crime writer Agatha Christie grew up in Torquay and her characters and stories are regularly celebrated. The English Riviera is so called because Georgian and Victorian travellers returned from grand tours of Europe and found similarities to the South of France. The Russian royal family, the Romanovs owned a house here called Villa Syracusa which is now a luxury hotel. Brixham hosts a Heritage Sailing Regatta and also an annual Trawler Race both with roots in the Sailing Trawler races that started in the nineteenth century.
