SHARP’S CAMEL WEEK 2015

Saturday 8th – Thursday 13 August  2015

If you’ve ever been to Camel Week in North Cornwall then you’ll know all about it, but if you haven’t then you’re missing out.   It’s really just a great seaside holiday week, with daily racing thrown in.  Because of the tides there is only one race a day, so there is plenty of time to play, go surfing, water-skiing, biking, fishing, sight-seeing, or just chill out on the sandy beach.

Camel Week is the annual sailing regatta run by Rock Sailing & Water Ski Club from its club-house, an ancient converted stone warehouse leased from the Duchy of Cornwall and perched on the shore of the Camel Estuary directly across from Padstow.

Races are run in the sheltered waters of the estuary (not too sheltered – several hundred sailors have perished on the estuary’s infamous Doom Bar over the centuries).  It is of course an open event with visitors from all over, and you’re just as likely to be calling starboard on a champion as on a holidays-only sailor.

In 2015 racing starts on Saturday 8th August, with a bonus “round the island” race out of the estuary on Friday 14th August.

Entries will be restricted to about 80 boats per fleet (ie dinghies, Shrimpers and cats) this year, so do pre-register to be sure of a place. 

Please follow this link to obtain an Entry Form and pre-register before 15th July to qualify for a discount on the fee.

And you can use this link to download the Camel Week Social Programme  and the complete racing and social programme here.

The results will be published here.
