After the success of last year, we took a little break but now we are back to planning Bangor Regatta 2024! We'll be updating these pages in the coming weeks and months with info on how the regatta will look next year. So news on sailing registrations, sponsors, entertainment will be posted as we get things in place. Until then please look at some of the great photos from last year posted by Andrew Gallagher at his website. And as always follow us on facebook to keep up to date with announcements etc.
We're looking forward to another sucessful and fun event in 2024!

Royal Ulster Yacht Club's Autumn Series is well and truly underway. The event which, this year, runs from Sunday 17th September 2023 through to Sunday 29th October 2023 had twelve yachts cross the most recent start line.
I have a very potent meteorology indicator in my back yard, it's called a brown bin. When it's upturned and sliding around skippers and crews head to the pub. That was certainly the case yesterday as I was walking my almost airborne little dog around Ballyholme Beach.
No problem getting the fleet underway yesterday morning in a brisk warm southerly. Conditions epitomized the reason why Belfast Lough has the reputation of being one of the finest locations for on the water competition in Ireland especially when the wind is in the south.
Looking out on the water this morning thoughts were more sunscreen than spinnakers but in any case classes set off on a slow start on day one of the much anticipated Bangor Town Regatta.
