Portland Harbour, near Weymouth, Dorset has long been host to National and World speed sailing records. From its inception in 1972, and continuing every Autumn since, this magic spot has drawn the World's best. Many left their mark here, written indelibly into the history books.<BR> <IMG SRC="images/1pix.gif" WIDTH="1" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0" HSPACE="8" VSPACE="6">The mighty Crossbow series set, and continually re-broke her own unlimited world speed record in these waters. World record hydrofoiler Icarus, with Princess Anne at the tiller, streaked down Portland's "inshore course." The first sinker sailboards were developed for these waters, took the "unlimited" record away, and changed the way sailors think about boat size and boatspeed forever.<BR> <BR> This year, at least two <B>very</B> hot hydrofoilers were scheduled. Both have shown proven capability to sail fast enough to break Crossbow II's long standing National Unlimited Speedsailing record.<BR> <IMG SRC="images/1pix.gif" WIDTH="1" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0" HSPACE="8" VSPACE="6">Running 27 September through 3 October, the traditions of Speedweek at Weymouth were continued!<BR> <IMG SRC="images/1pix.gif" WIDTH="1" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0" HSPACE="8" VSPACE="6">Additional information; entry requirements, schedule of events, prizes, adresses and phone numbers, accomodations, etc. for this year's and future Speedweeks may be found on <A HREF="http://www.peterw.demon.co.uk/speedweek/index.html">Peter Watkinson's Speedweek pages.</A><BR> <BR> <FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#0033FF"><B>Speedweek '98!</B></FONT><BR> <IMG SRC="images/1pix.gif" WIDTH="1" HEIGHT="1" ALIGN="BOTTOM" BORDER="0" VSPACE="6">Already scheduled, for 3rd to the 9th of October 1998.
