Local Sailing Clubs May Face Water Restriction
Local clubs have been discussing restricting public sailing along with establishing a British training camp at Castle Cove as part of the Olympic preparations.
The discussions are between the RYA, Weymouth Yacht clubs and a forum for the sailing clubs and part of the plans are key ‘mock olympic’ games events to be held in 2010 and 2011 to test our facilities capability to handle large scale competitions without crippling the town (lets pray).
The RYA has apparently been in discussions with Castle Cove sailing club about setting up a training camp for British sailors, which would include improvements to their facilities currently available. The sailing academy will be closed in the run up to the games which is why they cannot use that.
A Castle Cove Sailing Club spokeswoman stated that one of the primary concerns of the yacht clubs was access to racing areas and facilities for members in the run up to the Games.
The current belief is that security on the waters where events are taking place will be similar to previous events staged at the sailing academy.
