As we prepare for the 180th Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta, we are proud to announce the evolution of our brand—honouring our rich history while embracing the future.

At the heart of our refreshed identity remains the Silver Oar, a key icon of the Regatta that symbolises tradition, excellence, and our deep maritime heritage. The classic red and blue - colours that have long represented our event - will continue to define our brand, ensuring a seamless blend of the past and present.

This Brand evolution marks an exciting chapter for the Regatta, starting with the launch of our new website next month and extending across this year’s souvenir programme. We are also thrilled to be collaborating with Central Embroidery to bring our updated branding to our official Regatta clothing, ensuring our community and visitors can wear the spirit of Dartmouth with pride.

To celebrate this milestone, we have chosen 23rd February 2025 as our official launch date exactly 180 days to the 180th Regatta. This marks the countdown to what promises to be an unforgettable celebration of sport, tradition, and community.

Stay tuned for more details and join us as we unveil the next chapter of the Port of Dartmouth Royal Regatta!
