About the event
Open to Fast Dinghies, Small Open Keelboats and Catamarans, the East Coast Piers Race is a major charity event raising funds to support “The Cirdan Trust” to further support their important work with socially or physically disadvantaged children. The race is based at Marconi Sailing Club on the River Blackwater in Essex and goes all the way up the East Coast to Walton and back again.
The Weta will sail the Colne Point Race which is 27 miles long open to boats 980PY and below and then the full ECPR which is 48 miles long open to fast catamarans only.
Last years weekend was great and the racing was good fun, but come along to also experience a great BBQ on the Saturday night, free camping onsite, fantastic race management and generally a good time.
