Welcome to the 2025 Menai Strait Regattas

IMPORTANT – Changes to the order of the Regattas in 2025:

The 2025 Menai Strait Regattas will be different than recent years. The Regattas will start on the 21st July which is a bit earlier in the year than usual. The order of the Regattas will also be different with all the first week races based in Beaumaris. The Race Through the Swellies and the Caernarfon races are moved to the second week which will end with 2 days back in Beaumaris. When you are planning your visit to the 2025 Menai Strait Regattas make sure you take these changes into account.

The Menai Strait Regattas are raced over the fortnight in late July to early August. The sailing takes place on the Menai Strait, a narrow stretch of water separating Anglesey from mainland North Wales. The majority of the boats racing are classic boats such as the Fife OD, the Mersey Mylne OD, and the Conway OD. We also welcome Cruisers and Dinghies in handicap fleets. The event is largely based at Beaumaris towards the Northern end of the Strait but other venues along the Strait are included right up to Caernarfon towards the Southern end.

The regattas include the iconic races from Beaumaris to Caernarfon through the Swellies and round Puffin Island.
