Barton Charter Regatta 2022 and the trophy goes to…

Celebrating a fabulous week of competitive sailing

Now we are back on dry land, and reflecting on another glorious week on the water, it is time to celebrate the trophy winners of Barton Regatta 2022!

Whilst the racing is always friendly, fun and good humoured, let’s not forget there is a competitive edge to it, with crews battling it out for those coveted trophies at the end of the week.

Thursday evening is the Regatta Awards ceremony, when we are pleased to host a sit-down dinner for competitors and boatyard teams, to mingle and exchange stories and highlights of the week. Competitors get to swap their waterproofs for posh frocks and sharp suits and the team get to relax after a hectic week keeping everyone safe and happy on and off the water. But back to those all-important trophy winners…
