Sailing Olympics, Weymouth and Portland 2012

Weymouth Bay and Portland Harbour will be the venue for the Olympic and Paralympic Sailing competitions. It was the first London 2012 Games venue to be finished

The venue comprises the Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy (WPNSA) and the adjoining commercial marina.

It has kick-started the regeneration of the former Naval Air Station at Portland, now known as Osprey Quay, where new residential, commercial and marina facilities are already underway.

Weymouth and Portland provides some of the best natural sailing waters in the UK, with facilities on land to match. The site has already hosted numerous international sailing events, including the 2006 ISAF World Youth Championships attended by over 60 nations.

Things to consider.

Getting here.

Use the train directly into Weymouth, or one of the many park and ride stations just outside. We strongly advise you not to try and get into the town centre as many of the car parks you may be familiar with will be used for alternative purposes. The train station is 100 metres to the beach. Thats just 9.58 seconds if you are USAIN BOLT.

Parking permits may be available at certain car parks, but these will not be guarenteed and will not be free. This policy is solely from the 27th July to the 11th August 2012
