To book a club dinghy, there is a diary in the upstairs saloon.
The club has a number of sailing dinghies for member's use. Non members can accompany members on these craft, but for insurance reasons, a member must be aboard. Currently there is no charge for the use of these boats. We do ask that you treat them with care, and if you are able, make good any damage.
RULES & BOOKING
They may be sailed or raced by any full adult member excluding social members. The helm must have suitable experience, either RYA level 2 + or equivalent from time spent sailing. Cadets may sail the boat during organised club cadet sailing with a dedicated support boat. Experienced cadets may join in club races but only if agreed with the support boat crew for that day. Club third party insurance covers up to ten boats on the water at any time, do not exceed this number.
Before sailing any club boats for the first time, contact the bosun for that boat to learn about any unique rigging aspects. After use, a report on the condition of the boat MUST be sent to the bosun. Contact can be by any means. The bosun names can be found on the online booking system.
