Parkstone Yacht Club is looking forward to welcoming competitors for the 75th Poole Week from 20 - 25 August 2023. Six days of afternoon racing for 11 classes across two race areas with a mixture of racing formats in the beautiful Poole Harbour.
Entrants receive a daily free drink voucher and supper vouchers for the opening and closing day.
To celebrate the 75th anniversary of the event the club has provided the 'Britannia Cup' for the overall boat of the week.
The Britannia Cup was originally the Bournemouth Challenge Cup for Yachts Exceeding 100 Tonnes under the Thames Measurement 1924. Britannia, His Majesty King George V won the trophy outright in 1934. In 1936 the cup was represented by His Majesty King George V for competition and Re-allocated by the Bournemouth Yachting Regatta Committee in 1939.
There are over 140 boats entered for what looks like it will be an extremely competitive week.
The Cornish Shrimpers will be competing on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and it is an incredibly competitive fleet. Last years winners Paul Tyler and Chris Lane are back to defend their title.
There are three handicap fleets with last year's winners all back to defend their titles, with Peter Stacey in his Dart 18 in the multihull fleet, Steve and Ally Tyler in their Merlin Rocket in the Fast Handicap fleet, and in the Slow Handicap fleet Duncan Glen in his Byte C11.
