Weymouth Speed Week is the oldest and longest-running speed sailing event in the world. Held annually since 1972, it has challenged sailors of a wide variety of wind-powered craft to sail as fast as they can over a distance of 500m with their speed being recorded as the average speed over that distance.
The 2013 Weymouth Speed Week will be held from Saturday 12th through to Friday 18th October 2013 in Portland Harbour and hosted by the Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy.
