Go to the clubs concerned and check up on last years results to see the classes and numbers of people who sail (although some of the clubs are not as good as others at self promotion!),

Pyefleet week at Brightlingsea S.C. on the East Coast. Aug 12-17th.
One race a day, alternates AM/PM. Launch into a sheltered creek (20 to 200 yds wide, depending on the tide), start / finish 10yds from the slip way, which is right next to the club house, bar, lunch, evening meal and hot showers. Racing takes place in a 1/2 mile to 2 mile wide estuary. Safe beach and swimming for toddlers near by. Camp site within 100 yds. RS400's, Vareos, Mirror, Fireball, Blaze, RS600/700/800, 29er, Topper plus cats

Abersoch week on the West Coast. July 22-27th
Open sea sailing, one race a day in the afternoon, with good beaches for the shore party. Definately a holiday resort. Large and very competitive RS400 fleet (45 boats).
