It’s only 6 weeks to go until the Olympic Sailing regatta starts in Weymouth and Portland in Dorset.  The first events begin on the 29th July and with the British boats expected to perform well in all classes the excitement is starting to build.  What’s more the Olympic sailing is followed shortly after by the Paralympic sailing event in the first week of September.

So this is the perfect time to plan a weekend break, short break or holiday in Dorset to soak up the Olympic excitement and to be able to see first hand a wonderful sporting occasion. You may not have tickets to the Olympic stands but there will be views of the racing from various coastal spots on the Dorset coast and there are sure to be lots of Olympics events running throughout the regattas.
