Located in Dorset on the south coast of England, Weymouth and Portland provides some of the best natural sailing waters in the UK, with facilities on land to match.
The sport’s name was changed from Yachting to Sailing at the Sydney 2000 Games.
The yachts used in Sailing have keels, mainly because the design provides greater stability. These keelboats also have open cockpits to allow more room for the sailors.
