REGATTA D
Harbour users not involved in the
regatta are reminded to keep clear of the organised waterborne events and exercise particular caution when underway in the area during this period. some of the events such as the firework and air displays will require us to close certain parts of the harbour for short periods of time so we can maximise safety. Local Notices to mariners will be available so please do take heed of these and note the areas and timings so to avoid any potential delays or disruption.

The river Dart is one of the most beautiful rivers on the south Coast and is popular with both leisure and commercial users. Our aim is to see it flourish whilst preserving its environmental integrity. We hope that you enjoy the regatta but that you minimise the environmental impact of your activities so that the Dart remains an area of outstanding natural beauty.
The speed limit within the DHNA
