October 2023 will see the sixth year of the Allspars Final Fling Dinghy Regatta. Founded between the partnership of The Royal Western Yacht Club and Allspars in 2017 this regatta invites sailors from all the over the United Kingdom to come and join us for a weekend of dinghy racing in Plymouth Sound.

The weekend will consist of competitive racing, social evenings in the club house along with food and drinks and many prizes at the end of both days. The Final Fling requires huge manpower to keep such an event safe and in running order not only afloat but also ashore.

Many clubs come together to support this event including a local sailing charity, Horizons Plymouth.

Online registration will soon be up and running on the club's website at rwyc.org/club-racing/final-fling-dinghy-regatta

The Royal Western and Allspars would like to welcome everyone to come a partake in this great event and we look forward to seeing you all in October.
