Welcome to the Heybridge Basin Regatta 2025.

I am very proud to say this is my fourth year as chairperson being supported by a fantastic hardworking committee.

Last year was a bit of a wash out, but we still managed to raise some money for the chosen charities, and the weather cleared for the dinghy and raft races, and the much loved 'Greasy Pole pillow fight'. We are running a mini mud race after I took part in the Maldon Mud Race in May. I would love you all to get involved in the races and competitions.

We hope that this year we see some great weather and we are very lucky to be joined and supported by Caroline Coastal who will be broadcasting live on the day.

I hope you all have a fantastic time at our event and thank you for attending and supporting the Heybridge Basin Regatta 2025.

Marie Ellis

Chairperson HB Regatta
