Testimonials‘I just wanted to thank you all for really first class race management during the RS700 Nationals – in pretty difficult conditions you seemed to make all the right calls. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did.’
‘I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for the hospitality and brilliance of your race team, shore crew and galley. Despite very challenging weather you managed to put in 10 good races, some would argue nine as the wind dropped to nothing in one race.
It is so refreshing to see such competent race management and a team that listen to the competitors and give them what they want. Well done! Most notable is the speed in which you managed to turn the races around keeping the hanging around to a minimum.
I can’t thank you enough for a great week, this is the second time I have been to Torbay, the first time I felt exactly the same so I had some feelings that the second visit would not live up to my expectations, however that was not the case.
I hope that we as a fleet can visit you again in the coming years.’

THE ENGLISH RIVIERA
LOCATIONThe English Riviera is set around Tor Bay, South Devon, one of the most beautiful bays in Europe, and includes the three towns of Torquay, Paignton and Brixham.
ACCESSIBILITYThere are direct motorway, rail and air links to the English Riviera. It is only 191 miles from London and 185 miles from Birmingham with the M5 motorway reaching Exeter from the Midlands, London and North. There are also mainline rail connections to Torquay. Exeter, Plymouth and Bristol airports offer regular national and international flights.
CLIMATEThe English Riviera has one of the most equable climates in Britain. The long warm summers and mild winters combined with a east facing Bay, create a haven for palms and other sub-tropical plants. Sunlight hours exceed the national average. Balmy autumns, fresh springs and mild winters first established the resort as Britain’s favourite during the times of the Napoleonic War. The balmy climate has since nutured cherished palm trees and the wellbeing of visitors.Average temperature readings around the world during the months of July and August 2009: Marseille 30°C Genoa 29°C Torquay (Torbay) 20°C Helsinki 19°CSource: The Met Office
