London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games Sailing Events - Weymouth and Portland Harbours - Visitor Berthing and Anchoring
The Ports of Weymouth and Portland will be open for business throughout the Olympic period and visitors arriving by boat can be assured of a once in a lifetime experience. Race areas are in both Weymouth Bay and Portland Harbour and will be a spectacular sight, set against the back drop of the Jurassic Coast. Two temporary viewing areas will be established out at sea for or local berth holders or those with pre-booked berths that might want to spectate the Olympic and Paralympic sailing on the water.
We have been working hard and improvements are happening in preparation for the coming season. The completely refurbished shower facilities are almost complete; there are additional pontoons, improvements to electric supplies and a planned sewage pump out facility.
We are delighted to be able to invite hundreds of visitors to Weymouth Harbour for the Games periods. Berths are available in the Weymouth Bay anchorage and alongside in Weymouth Harbour, however, all berths between 16 July – 12 August must be pre-booked.
Steps have been taken to safeguard the competition areas at certain times to ensure a safe, secure and enjoyable games for both boat users and Olympic competitors.
