Brixham Heritage Regatta 2025

Working trawler races have been sailed off Brixham since the early 1800’s.

They were always fiercely competitive, and the boats were driven extremely hard. In strong winds in 1927, the winning trawler Valerian, averaged over 12 knots around the course!

In 1914, King George V donated the ‘Perpetual Challenge Cup’ also known as the ‘King George V Cup’ or the ‘Kings Cup’.

Brixham registered sailing trawlers over 40 tons were eligible to take part. The trophy, however, was not presented until 1919 due to the Great War. Sunny Isle was the first winner.
