Sailing Facilities Expansion Plans
Plans for new world class sailing facilities on Portland have been submitted, leaving Weymouth & Portland on track to become one of the first Olympic venues to be ready for the 2012 Olympics.
A new permanent slipway, additional boat parking in the form of a 560 berth marina, lifting and moorings are planned to deliver improved facilities for the games and beyond.
Seb Coe, left comment stating that these extra facilities would transform Weymouth & Portland from a top class venue to a world-class venue for sailing events with obvious benefits for the local economy long after the games have finished.
