Take advantage of early-bird entry fees for the event in a month's time

Poole Week - one of the south coast's biggest and best regattas for dinghies and small keelboats - is now less than a month away.

Entries have been flooding in and already exceed 130 boats across the fleets, which range from ILCAs, Dart 18s and RS200s to Wayfarers, Flying Fifteens and Cornish Shrimpers.

The past few years have seen a growing number of XODs join the Parkstone locals for the week because of the excellent racing in Poole Harbour - not to mention the outstanding socials - and that increase is set to continue this year with more visitors from Lymington and Itchenor.

A good reason to enter now is that early-bird entry closes on 31st July, after which entries can still be accepted at the higher rate.

Poole Week offers great value, top-class racing and a good time off the water whenever you enter, so find out more by visiting www.PooleWeek.org
