Ramsgate Week

Ramsgate Week 6th to 11th August 2023

Ramsgate Week is widely renowned as the 'friendly regatta' and provides a very viable alternative to our friends in Cowes.

Cruiser Classes - 2023 sees the addition of Class 4, a cruiser class designed to support newer style yachts using asymmetric spinnakers and code 0 sails and encourage an increase in cruiser class sailing at this next regatta. The new class will be in addition to Classes 5,6 & 7. We also feel that our famously fought for trophies should be awarded to the classes with the largest fleets. This includes the Gold Cup and the QE11 cup. Further details on this will come later.

IRC Classes - 2023 brings another warm welcome to our IRC classes, we plan to run with two IRC classes with the class 1 break point being 1.000 and above. RORC have once again confirmed our application to host the 2023 East Coast Championships which will take place from Wednesday to Friday as a separate series within the main Ramsgate Week series.

Classic Yachts - This is a class for all yachts over 24ft length on deck, built of wood or steel before 1975 or in GRP before 1965. A division for Spirit of Tradition yachts may be allocated for boats built after the above dates to designs that reflect the appearance and virtues of classic yachts. We welcome Classic yachts entries and Class 8 is dedicated to run should there be 2 or more Monday to Friday entrants in 2023.

After a challenging day's racing between the North and South Forelands you are within a five minute walk from your berth to the Royal Temple Yacht Club where you can relax with fellow competitors whilst enjoying the very best in warm and friendly hospitality all under one roof. Ramsgate is now so well supported with Restaurants and Bars that you are guaranteed to be able to relax and enjoy your time ashore during the regatta.
