Editing River Orwell (section)

==Sailing==
The Orwell provides a popular venue for [[sailing]]. Interest originally centred on the hamlet of [[Pin Mill]] (featured in two children's novels by [[Arthur Ransome]]: ''[[We Didn't Mean To Go To Sea]]'' and ''[[Secret Water]]''), which is home to the Pin Mill Sailing Club and its [[Hard (nautical)|Hard]]. Ransome had kept his yacht ''Selina King'' at the Pin Mill anchorage in 1937–39.

Since the 1970s marinas have opened at [[Levington]] (Suffolk Yacht Harbour, pictured), Woolverstone, Fox's (just outside Ipswich), and two marinas in the old [[Ipswich dock|Ipswich Wet Dock]]. Woolverstone is home to the [[Royal Harwich Yacht Club]] that was for many years host to the Swordfish 15-foot racing [[dinghy]] built by [[Fairey marine|Fairey Marine]], in addition to its 12-foot Firefly, a derivative of the National 12-foot dinghy, both designed by the sailor [[Uffa Fox]]. It now hosts a broad range of sailing events, such as the annual 'Junior Race Week'.
