Poole - Great Sailing Venue
As one of the World's largest natural harbours, Poole delivers
some superb safe coastal sailing in virtually any conditions.
Despite being a Harbour, Poole offers good sea conditions
without extremes. The 2006 Mirror Europeans will be sailed
from Poole YC, with the racecourse using the large expanse
of water (over 2 miles wide) opposite the clubhouse. Poole
YC is one the UK's premier clubs, with enormous experience
of running top events. 2005 saw the club host the highly successful
Mirror Nationals with 91 boats.
Top Class Mirror Competition
UK Mirror sailing is enjoying a resurgence of interest, with
growing numbers and close competition, attracting many top
sailors. The 2005 Nationals at Poole YC saw 91 boats competing
with sailors of all ages (7-70), including adult/child teams
and all juniors. Each race saw a different winner, so if you
are looking for close one design competition, the 2006 Mirror
Europeans will be the place to be.
 Poole

importance, there is something to suit all tastes to make
