UKWA Speed Champions

Weymouth Speed Week takes place early October, and is held at the Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy. The dates of the next few events are shown at the bottom of the WSW home page.

Since 2007 Weymouth Speed Week has crowned UKWA Speed Champions. The event uses a format very similar to the ISWC and riders accumulate points during the week. Full details are on the WSW results website.

British Speed Challenge

During the year you can compete in the British Speed Challenges:

- See gps-speedsurfing.com for the fin competition
- See gps-foilsurfing.com for the foil competition
- See gps-wingfoiling.com for the wing competition

The format is simple... fastest 250 m on British waters. Whenever, and wherever you choose. You do need to be a UKWA member to be eligible.

Windsurfing Equipment

Any equipment is allowed, and it’s not only speed boards that are quick. Speed or slalom boards are not a must, but freerace and freeride boards can also be fast. With the introduction of affordable GPS receivers you can race yourself and your mates.

The average sailor can also be sailing with the likes of Jenna Gibson, Scotty Stallman, Simon Pettifer, and Jim Crossley during Weymouth Speed Week. What other format allows the average sailor to be rubbing shoulders with some of the world’s best?

No Better Time

Overall there has never been a better time to take up speedsailing. It’s easy, it's fun, and you don’t even need to be able to tack or gybe!

So, what’s stopping you?
