THE conditions were spot on for the popular annual seafaring event in Little Haven at the weekend.

More than 500 people headed to the small coastal village for its Regatta with sailing, swimming and kayaking races enjoyed by all as well as children’s games and fishing competitions.

The sun shone and wind blew for those who had travelled from far and wide for the event which has been hailed a great success.

A spokesman for the Little haven Regatta Committee said: “We had a fantastic day for the Little Haven Regatta on Saturday, August 5 with over 500 people visiting from all over to watch and compete in the sailing, swimming and kayaking races. A day of family fun had by all finished off with the famous 'Tudors Mackerel Race'. We thank everyone for their support in making the day a success!”
