Please do not take your road trailer into the dinghy park. Move your Trailer to the Trailer storage area (PL13 2JS see below route video).

We will allocate your berth and Tally number in the morning. You can access the Sea front via the route between the RNLI station building and the River. The Middle Bollard will lift. Please return it immediately.

Please take due care when pulling the empty trailer back through town. Pedestrians will not be aware you are towing and are prone to stepping behind the cars as they pass.

Looe is a busy holiday resort during the summer and when you arrive for your championship you will have probably just completed a long tiring journey.

We aim to make your arrival and registration as smooth as possible whilst ensuring we meet our obligation to keep everybody safe and traffic flowing, so please follow our teams guidance.

Normal 4×4’s and double dinghy trailers can navigate the streets with care but anything larger will need special support and guidance.

Contact us if you have a large towing vehicle (Large camper van etc.) or trailer: Enquiries@looesailingclub.co.uk

Due to the volume of traffic and limited space we need to have you berthed and your car and trailer away within 15 minutes in order to avoid penalties.

Please follow our team’s instructions for parking your vehicle whilst your boat is unloaded.

You will immediately receive a berth number, which will be tagged, on your trolley handle and trailer. Note: Berth/Tally numbers are allocated on arrival these are not an entry number.

As soon as is possible move your boat and sailing equipment to your berth. A member of the reception team will help you find it. Note: Strictly no vehicles or road trailers are permitted in the dinghy park, only launching trolleys.

Immediately you are berthed, please return to the arrival point to transfer you trailer to the trailer park and move your car away.

The reception team will provide you with directions to the trailer park please follow the Route Video.

Once your trailer and car have been safely parked up then you can make your way back to the dinghy park to socialise, commence boat scrutinising (where applicable).

You register at the RNLI station in the crew room (Just opposite the beachmasters office). Please ensure your trailer etc. have been cleared out of town before registering.
