Outstanding Open Week for North Devon Yacht Club

North Devon Yacht Club is beaming with pride after hosting a superb Open Week, which included some epic racing on the water, pursuits, round the bay races, the full regatta and plenty of partying in the evenings.

Spread across eight days, the club welcomed an incredible 74 entries and has already labelled the 2024 Open Week as one of their most successful ever, all made possible by the amazing contributions from a huge team of volunteers.

Well done to all involved.
