Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy Marina
This is the UK's premier national sailing academy, purpose-built on the stretch of water between Portland Harbour and Weymouth Bay that hosted the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic sailing events. You'll find marina berths here alongside a massive dinghy park with capacity for 600 boats, all with direct access to some of the best racing waters in the country. It's a serious setup, shaped by elite competition history but open to anyone looking to sail in world-class conditions on the Dorset coast.
