Poole Week is back! For 2015, Parkstone Yacht Club is hosting an action-packed six-day event with plenty of activity on and off the water!
Returning to the original week-long format, Poole Week is open to sailors of all dinghies and small keel boats, offering a great opportunity to experience some of the best harbour and sea sailing on the south coast.
The full racing programme will be available soon, offering superb Harbour and Bay sailing in a competitive and fun environment.
With over 25 different classes of dinghies and small keel boats regularly racing in Poole Harbour, we aim to offer closely-matched racing for everyone during the week. Each class with six entries will have a class race, plus there will be a popular handicap race, to ensure that no one is disappointed.
Local sailors and visitors alike, will be welcomed to Parkstone Yacht Club, where there will be a daily social programme, including post-sailing entertainment, food and drink. All Poole Week entrants will receive free temporary family membership of Parkstone Yacht Club for the week, meaning they will be able to take advantage of the excellent location and facilities that the club offers.
Entry fees are discounted by 25% until 10 April 2015, so get your entry in early.
They'll be plenty to keep non-sailing members of the family entertained too with organised trips and excursions to explore Poole and the surrounding area. To find out more about the social activities click here.
The first Poole Week regatta took place in 1948, you can read more about the history of the event click here. Over the last 67 years, the event may have changed its format, duration and even its name (from time-to-time), but one thing has remained – its position as the premier annual dinghy and small keel boat sailing event in Poole Harbour.
In 2015 Poole Week is going to be better than ever – and we look forward to seeing you on the water!
