Gorey Regatta Association
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.
