-


Dozens of the UK’s leading sand yachting enthusiasts will be in action on Brean beach this weekend, competing in the British Land Yachting Championships.

The two-day event is being organised by Brean Land Yacht Club and starts on Saturday March 15th and continues on Sunday, weather permitting.

“We are hoping for a breezy weekend. 26 pilots have registered for the event so far with four classes of yachts competing in this second round of the British Land Yachting Championships,” organiser Martyn Hayle told Burnham-On-Sea.com.

The action will get underway at 10.30am on both days. During ideal conditions, the yachts speed across the sand at up to 60mph, making quite a spectacle for spectators.
