2026 POSH

2026 POSH (Paignton Open for Single Handed Dinghies) incorporating RS Aero 9 & RS Vareo National Championships

POSH26 is being run on Saturday 9th & Sunday 10th May 2026.

Paignton Open for Single Handers (POSH) was founded in 2012 as a replacement for our Spring Regatta. This unique format appeals to a range of high-performance single-handed dinghies and has been adopted by many as a class open meeting. The regatta has gone from strength to strength with turnouts of around 100 boats, with many classes incorporating their UK National Championships. This year the RS Aero 9 and the RS Vareo Class Associations will be running their National Championships from Thursday 8th to Sunday 10th May.

Paignton Sailing Club is renowned for hosting high-profile events with an enviable record, superb facilities and equipment, and a world-class Race Management team. The club itself is located on the Paignton Harbour and has plenty of parking within walking distance. This year, the event will be run from Paignton harbourside due to flood defence work being carried out on Paignton South Green (our usual home for the event).

Entries will open in February.
