Poole Week, one of the country's biggest and most vibrant sailing weeks for dinghies and small keelboats, gets under way in Poole Harbour on Sunday. The weather forecast for the weekend looks perfect and the crews of nearly 170 boats already entered are keen to get out and start racing.

The entry list has continued to grow as the event draws ever nearer and more last-minute entries are expected over the coming days. There's still time to join in, and you can enter by the day if you can't manage the whole week.

Blow the wind Southerly (sometimes with a bit of East in it too) Poole Harbour was very much a harbour of two halves on the Tuesday of Poole Week.
