The Weymouth & Portland National Sailing Academy (WPNSA) is an internationally renowned sailing events venue that was host to the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Sailing Competitions.

WPNSA regularly hosts major events such as World and European Championships as well as providing opportunities for recreational sailors to get on the water.  The driving force and focus of the Academy are the sailing events and the provision of access to water sports for all but to sustain the facilities and business we have several other income streams such as a boat yard and a strong catering operation including conference and function facilities.
