Has it really been a week since Regatta? On another hot and breezy weekend here are some photos of the Sail and Rowing Racing on Saturday - as seen from the water. Some great images captured for us by Liz Reynolds.

We have just taken the really difficult decision to cancel the Regatta Fireworks set for this evening due to the drought conditions and general concerns about fire risks.

We are really grateful to Dynamic Fireworks for being so understanding and enabling us to rearrange the firework display to a later date.

There are now less than two weeks until Regatta, and we are counting down the days.

The first record of a Fireworks Display at Regatta is from1846, and the Regatta Fireworks are a traditional part of the event.

The Fireworks are free to the Public and and they display will start at approximately 9.30 PM on Saturday 1st August - (as soon as it is dark enough). The Display is set from the end of the Hard opposite the Sailing Club at low water, with a great view from the Town Beach and the Walls.

The Club's traditional Starting Guns will be in use on both days for the time signals, starts and finishes of the Sailing Races. Please be aware that they are Loud (but short lived). There will be a countdown over the PA system prior to signals.

Approximate timings are in the outline programme for those who would prefer to avoid.

The Outline Programme and timings for events are as below:
