LOCOG or London 2012 Organising Committee made announcement regarding the plans of testing its system, equipment, workforce and procedures to run Olympic and Paralympic Sailing competitions. LOCOG will run London 2012 sailing test event called Weymouth and Portland International Regetta 2011 from Weymouth and Portland National Sailing Academy.
LOCOG has planned 42 test events and Weymouth and Portland International Regetta 2011 is just one of them. In the Weymouth and Portland International Regetta 2011, approximately 380 sailors from all over 60 nations will participate.
LOCOG CEO, Paul Deighton stated, “LOCOG’s testing programme is all about 'road testing' all our operational plans on the water to make sure we have all the knowledge we need to deliver a truly memorable Games in 2012 and learn any lessons in advance. The Weymouth and Portland International Regatta 2011 provides a great opportunity for athletes who may well be selected for the Games to come and sail on the same waters at the same time of year to learn as much as they can about the conditions Weymouth Bay might offer them in 2012.”
He further added, “Weymouth and Portland is a fantastic sailing venue and we’re looking forward to welcoming the teams here and delivering a world class regatta this summer.”
For Weymouth and Portland International Regatta 2011, there will be no sale of tickets.
