Plymouth Race Week 2011
Thu, 7 Jul 2011 - Sun, 10 Jul 2011
The new bi-annual sailing event, which plans to be on the scale of Cowes and Cork week, utilising the City?s unrivalled waterfront and fabulous sailing waters, will be centered round the historic Barbican area of Plymouth.
The competing yachts will be berthed in Sutton Harbour, thanks to the support of Sutton Harbour Group, with the tented race village no more then a couple of hundred yards away on the adjoining Commercial Wharf overlooking Queen Anne?s Battery.
In between, and on the way after a hard days racing, are The Barbican?s shops, restaurants and watering holes, which not only provide fabulous apres sail, but also enhance a family friendly atmosphere.
With the full support of Plymouth?s newly formed Department of Development & Regeneration, the smooth set up and running of the race village is assured.
Timed to coincide with Plymouth Summer Festival, a full calendar of dazzling events will ensure that the shore side entertainment is every bit as spectacular as the sailing. The Red Arrows display team, fireworks night, Naval displays and a dedicated race village are just some of the attractions planned.
