Gorey Regatta Association (Est 1857)
Gorey Regatta is one of the oldest regattas in the world. It is an integral part of Jersey history providing many local and visiting sailors with the opportunity of sailing in one of the most interesting and pictureque locations in the British Isles. Located on Jersey's beautiful east coast the event takes place in the picturesque Royal Bay of Grouville with Mont Orgueil Castle as a backdrop. The regatta is open to yachts of many different classes and offers a range of competitive events with 19 trophies. Tidal conditions control the date of the regatta and other local club sailing events are planned accordingly. It is normally held over a weekend when the tide permits a feeder race from St Helier.
Competitors from abroad are always welcome. There are usually visitors from England and the adjacent coast of France. Registration is easy through this website or by direct contact with the Secretary. Jersey enjoys a special relationship with the EU and the island is well served by both scheduled and charter air carriers from the UK and European airports as well as regular ferry services

Regatta Sponsorship
Gorey Regatta Association is very grateful to 2e2 for supporting the Regatta, now in its 155th year. This sponsorship will help the Association to continue running the Regatta and will enable it to further promote the event, to attract new entrants and encourage the many young dinghy sailors to move through the ranks.
