The West Mersea Regatta is on 19th August 2023. The East Coast Cruise in Company will follow on.

As always, Atalantas, owners and friends will get together for a natter and then take part racing for the ‘Atalanta Cup’ and for the fine wooden model of A12.  The racing is not too serious but provides a reason to get together in West Mersea!

There should be berths available if anyone wants to get afloat – contact Richard James (see below). The Town Regatta is a great day out even without a boat.
