The Venue. See Maps page for directions
The British Landsailing Redcar Regatta is open to all classes of landyacht - Mini 5.6, Standart, Class 5 and Class 3. Racing will take place on Coatham Sands at the western end of the town. We have an excellent midday low on both days with a 0.3 metre tide which should provide a flat, hard and hazard free beach. The beach can be a bit sticky after heavy rain but it does dry quickly. The designated racing area is about 1.5 kilometres in length and approx 300 metres wide at low tide at its widest point The council have provided space on land next to Cleveland Golf Club, right next to the beach, for the sole use of British Landsailing for vehicles and yacht assembly and parking. There is ample room to park and assemble all yachts. The car park will be available from midday on Friday 15th June for early arrivals. Unfortunately, due to the tide and public safety issues, the beach will not be available for practice on Friday. Permission for overnight parking has been granted.
There are public toilets at the Tuned In building for day time use. We will be providing a portaloo on the car park for those of you who wish to sleep over in vehicles. Shower facilities and toilets are available just 30 seconds walk away at the Cleveland Golf Club. Check the Accommodation and Tourism page for more information

Help Required
As Redcar is still a fairly new venue and we will be sailing close to the public it is very important that we have sufficient marshals to manage the event safely. We would like to hear from any none sailors attending who would be willing to act as course marshals and safety marshals for the event. Just click the I want to help button below. We have a 4x4 ambulance but would like 2 more 4x4 vehicles available.. The beach is hard and flat and there is no mud. However, soft sand above the tide line means a 4X4 is the only option for getting a vehicle onto the beach to shuttle marshals and provide shelter. If you are coming to the regatta in a 4X4 and would be willing to put it on the beach we would like you to get in touch by clicking the I want to help button below.
