SailFest is the new annual sailing festival to take place in August each year at Weymouth & Portland National Sailing Academy (WPNSA), as a continuing legacy of the Olympic Games events held there.  Running from Friday 23rd to Monday 26th August, 3 days of racing on the Olympic waters on 2 or more courses will culminate in a big pursuit race on Bank Holiday Monday.  Winter Series style handicap racing but with fleet starts for any class attracting a significant number of boats, and much more going on besides.  The racing is preceded by a training day on the Friday and will include a Class Association Display in the hangar, shore side displays, tasters, trial sails, activities and live presentation of the on-water action.

Merlin sailors could make a whole week of it by staying down for the Weymouth SC Open Meeting the following weekend!

Single handers £65, double handers £75
Training day £37 per boat (1 or 2-crew)

And, as it is just too cold to think about summer sailing at the moment (in lieu of the £10 early bird discount having just ended) all entries received between now and the end of May will receive a £10 voucher to redeem at the WPNSA cafe during the event.

GJW Direct SailFest at WPNSA, 23rd to 26th August 2013
