YOGAFF this weekend

With good weather forecast for the weekend Yarmouth, on the Isle of Wight is a good place to go. The weekend will see the town hosting the annual YOGAFF festival.

Yarmouth's picturesque harbour will be filled with life and colour with more than 100 visiting traditional sailing, steam and motor vessels, including the cream of the Old Gaffers Association fleet.

Racing will take place in the Solent in full view of the town.

Or if the thought of racing is all too much, take the time to enjoy the view and all the boats in the harbour.

This years festival will be opened by Geoff Holt. Geoff hit the headlines when he sailed solo around Britain in a 15-foot trimaran -remarkable because he is paralysed from the waist down. He is also the fastest disabled person to sail round the Isle of Wight.

There's lots happening including:

Street Entertainment
Live Music
Spectacular Classic and Gaff-rigged Boats in the Harbour
Exciting Racing for Gaff-rigged Boats within sight of the shore
Visiting Classic Vehicles
Craft Fair and Market
Flower Festival
Lifeboat Demonstration
And lots more …..
