The cruiser class is made up of craft that adapt well to drying moorings and shoal waters. Primarily they are bilge keel yachts and multihulls, there are also centre-boarder and lee-board craft.
Cruiser Racing: This takes place together with other clubs in the area as part of the Combined Clubs Series and Southend Interclub. The races include local port-to-port events and racing in the estuary.
Cruising in company is also arranged throughout the season. Events range from tidal sailing, creek crawling, local coastal and foreign voyages.
