    Dieppe Dash is an exciting annual cross-channel boating event conceived as a means of meeting like-minded people, sharing the enjoyment of boating interests of all boat owners, and providing support in crossing the English Channel. Dieppe Dash includes pre-event talks, an outbound sail/motor cruising rally or yacht race, shore side events in Dieppe and a cruise or race return passage.

    Dieppe Dash takes place in the English Channel between Brighton/Newhaven area of the south coast of England, and Dieppe in the Normandy region on the northern coast of France, the outbound passage on the Friday leading into the first May Bank Holiday weekend of the United Kingdom public holidays calendar.

    The main fleet will make the return passage on the Bank Holiday Sunday. If weather conditions do not permit making passage on the Sunday there is provision to make arrangements to stay longer in Dieppe or return to Great Britain via the ferry and recover the boat at a later date.

    Dieppe Dash is the perfect event for your first time ‘across the channel’ passage, you are more likely to make a passage if you have planned it with other boat owners, and make the passage in company. For those interested in racing, Dieppe Dash provides the perfect offshore challenge.

    Dieppe Dash Safety Plan provides guidance for you, the Person-in-Charge to create your sea-safety plan, and a check-in and check-out scheme (SOSDAS) to monitor your ‘at sea’ status.

    Dieppe Dash is organised by the Dieppe Dash Team of Brighton Marina Yacht Club (BMYC) with support of Ports de Normandie, Syndicat Mixte du Port Dieppe, and Cercle de la Voile de Dieppe (CVD).
