Located in the stunning coastal area of Burnham – on – Sea in Somerset is the holiday town of Brean. On the 22nd of march 2024 it is expected that dozens of land yachting enthusiasts will be rushing to this previously quiet town to see the British land Yachting Championships return!
When the race starts, you can expect to see these yachts reach speeds of up to 55 or even 60MPH as the coastal winds project them along the beach. This dangerous sport is the definition of who dares wins.
This sport has quite the history in Brean with the earliest records dating back to around 1920. In these times the land yachts were made from pieces of World War 1 aircraft. All these years later and Brean still has its famous land yachting club.
Interestingly land yachting was also one of the first sports that men and women could compete in with completely equal terms making this sport a true staple in the fight for equality between the sexes. The performance of one of these yachts comes from 3 things, skill, technique and feeling the yacht move around you.
This event is the ideal spectator sport for all the family. This wholesome event that made light of the dark and aided in breaking down gender stereotypes is returning. Make sure you head down to Brean for the 22nd of march to catch a glimpse of these amazing crafts.
Individuals are given the opportunity to not only look and ask about caravans but also speak to park owners. This allows buyers to make an informed choice around the lifestyle they will lead for the next 10 -15 years.
The lifespan of a Static Caravan can vary, however, like with most things if it is looked after and properly maintained then you could expect the static caravan to reach up to 30 or more years on private land. Parks will generally ask for it to be upgraded around the 15-year mark to keep the park looking appealing and safe.
What is the ideal location? This varies from person to person, but it is important to consider what makes a holiday special to you, is it being near stunning coastlines like you might find in Tintagel or would you prefer to be surrounded by the countryside like you might find near Winkleigh.
