Brightlingsea Pyefleet Week this year runs from 30th July to August 6th. As one the the summers best dinghy week regattas we are inviting any class looking for a nationals venue to contact us.

Racing is in the Colne estuary with committee boat starts and round the cans style racing. A full weeks social with food and entertainment makes for a fantastic time.

In the past we have successfully incorporated Redwings, Signets and Fleetwinds. Small classes worried about numbers would find this opportunity ideal as we can accommodate numbers from 5 to 30 easily. If you normally combine your nationals alongside another fleet then we can fit in several classes!

Not had a Nationals as organisation too difficult?
Can't find a good priced venue?
Think this might be good for your class?
Looking for this style event even next year or in the future?

Get your sailing committee to contact

We would love to see you and help you join in our hugely enjoyable week.

Some of the strongest gusts of the event saved for the final day in Brightlingsea Carrying on the completely non-existent tradition of starting with alliteration, I will sum up this event, as the light left leaning lake-like event... with tide, rivers and barges... so not lake like at all really.
