After opening the first major marine brand to open a standalone store in the town, Henri Lloyd announced their title sponsorship of the Weymouth Town Regatta. This year's event will start on Friday 10th August, with local and visiting yachts competing in the long distance race, a further two races back to back will then be scheduled for Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th August 2007.

In the region of 100 yachts are expected to participate, with the majority of the yachts coming from the 4 local clubs; Castle Cove Sailing Club; Weymouth Sailing Club; Royal Dorset Yacht Club and the Royal Naval Sailing Association, however, as the regatta develops and grows it is expected to see a higher number of visiting yachts participate.

Henri Lloyd getting involved at Weymouth

We are working towards our own legacy as we sail toward the 2012 London Olympic Games and Paralympic Games. Our long-term vision for the Weymouth Regatta is for it to be a week-long event and a must for the diaries of racing sailors who are looking for top racing and a variety of quality shore-side activities
Yacht Clubs of Weymouth Regatta Chairman Peter Hopford

To compliment the on-water activities is a brand new show called "Marine-Ex on the quay", whereby sailors, residents and visitors to the harbour side will be able to enjoy a host of displays and activities.
