BRIGHTLINGSEA Sailing Club’s Pyefleet Week looks set to break all attendance records.

The 2105 event, supported by Zhik, which takes place from August 1-8, is one of the UK’s premier dinghy and day boat regattas.

With eight days of sailing for all from Olympic medallists and World Champions to weekend warrior, cadets and complete novices plus non-stop fun for all the family, the week has something to offer everyone.

This year the regatta will include the SigneT Class National Championship, which will run from August 3-7.

Also featuring will be a fleet of more than 20 Brightlingsea One Designs (BODs), the local three man traditional clinker day boats that have been raced continuously at Brightlingsea since their introduction in 1928.

The Wivenhoe One Designs, a smaller two-man clinker day boat normally based up the river at Wivenhoe, will join the fray too, making for a spectacular sight as boats almost a century old race side by side with the very latest skiffs, multihulls and foilers.

Ashore the Club is open from early morning to late at night.

Each day starts with breakfast, followed by morning coffee, the famous Pyefleet lunch table, afternoon tea and après sailing drinks. In the evenings there’s a club supper, followed by a variety of entertainment including live bands, a quiz night and various fleet-led fun nights such as the BOD German Night and the Big Wednesday Beach Party.

Pyefleet Week is organised and run by the volunteer members of Brightlinsea Sailing club and the club operates an open door policy throughout the week.

The generous support of sponsors helps make the event the success it is and for 2015 Pyefleet Week is delighted to welcome Australia-based apparel brand Zhik as Official Clothing Partner and title sponsor.

Also supporting the week are day sponsors Brightlingsea Boat Park & Ride, Specialised Fixings, AOC Resins, Just Trays and Britau Scaffolding; Supporting Sponsors Chemical Release Company, Professional Building Supplies, Aluminium Roofline Products and Walker Modular; and Official Suppliers Clean Fresh, Curtis Signs, Dave White and The Press Gang.
