Entry to the Event
Competitors may compete with any wind-powered sailing craft.
For practical and safety reasons we have to limit the total number of competitors on the water. The event will be oversubscribed so book early to avoid disappointment. Entry is only secured on payment of the appropriate fee following completion of on-line registration.
Entries made less than 21 days before the start of the event will not be eligible for an event shirt as the orders for these has to be made then.
There are several options for entering the event:

- 2 Days of your choice
- Youth at the weekend only
- Youth all week (if OK with parents) including entry to the weekend Youth competition
The fees include the use of the Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy including all launching and mooring fees due to the Portland Port Authority.
With the exception of the Youth weekend. Weymouth Speed Week is a week long competition.
Weymouth Speed Week and the Amateur Yacht Research Society award "fastest of the day" tankards for four categories - Sailboard, Kiteboard, Wingboard and Boat. All competitors are eligible for these regardless of age.
