Summer Tuesday Evening Training

On Tuesday evenings (starting May)  a safety cover boat will be on the water at the club.  This is to encourage sailors to come down and practice various techniques without having to be involved in a club race. It is open to all club members. It is also an opportunity for those who have recently completed sail training courses after joining the club to come along and practice.

Club Dinghy Fleet and Rental

The club has a number of boats that fully paid up members can use. A small number of boats may be hired out for half of the season. This guarantees that the boat will always be available to the hirer.  The remaining boats may be hired on the day for a nominal fee (sailors with 2 years membership or less will have first preference up until 30 minutes of the first gun)
