Paignton Open for Single Handers (POSH) was founded in 2012 as a replacement for their Spring Regatta. This unique format appeals to a range of high-performance single-handed dinghies and has been adopted by many as a class open meeting. The regatta has gone from strength to strength with turnouts of around 100 boats with many classes incorporating their UK National Championships.
The entry fee for all POSH classes is £50 for entries received on or before 26th April 2024, or £55 if received after this date.

P.O.S.H. to Travellers Trophy Points
Extracting results from a Multi Class event can have a different outcome as is evidenced from the 2023 P.O.S.H results.
We extract the finishing positions as if there are no other classes in the Travellers Series race. This can reverse positions.
Jeremy came 2nd in P.O.S.H. but 3rd in the Travellers Trophy
Graham came 6th in P.O.S.H. but 5th in the Travellers Trophy
The size of the table means it is best to view on a laptop rather than a mobile.
