See also: merseaweek.orgMersea Week is a ‘family and friends’-orientated week. The sheltered waters of the River Blackwater estuary provide perfect conditions and space to run daily racing with expert race management and courses for all.
Regatta Racing Format: Daily Starts and prize givings for all Classes. The week includes many traditions, not least the Round The Island Race (Mersea Island) for the coveted Coconut Trophy (dinghies only) on the Wednesday.
Social Scene: Bands playing and events every day at both clubs after racing. Food available at both clubs and there are many local pubs and famous eateries and takeaways. Accommodation available for all budgets.
Top Tips: Something for all the family and all age groups. Try our famous Native oysters and locally caught fish. Wonderful beach for the non-sailors, where one can view the racing. Mersea Week saw over 800 competitors last year and the event continues to grow year on year. Thanks to the generosity of the daily and weekly sponsors, we are able to keep the entry fee low and it is such a winning formula that everyone has such a great time and they keep coming back.
