Dinghy Sailing 2026
Overview
In 2026, we’ve designed the dinghy programme to make the most of weekend and evening tides throughout the sailing season—encouraging both new and experienced sailors to get out on the water regularly.
Across the year, we’ll be running a variety of sailing series, along with social and training sessions.
We’re fortunate to have an excellent fleet of club boats available for members to use, and we’re also looking to expand the fleet with additional Laser single-handed dinghies. These will help boost racing and make the most of weekends when sailing will take place directly off the beach.
Club boats are:
Free to use for members in their first year
Available thereafter for a nominal £5 fee to support maintenance
Pre-Season
Season Kick-Off
We’ll start with a short get-together to discuss plans for the season.
This is a great opportunity to:
Share ideas
Provide feedback
Help shape the programme for the year ahead
Powerboat Refresher Sessions
These sessions are ideal for anyone who has trained with us in recent years and wants to get back on the water.
We’ll cover:
Launching and recovery
Basic sea skills
Capsize recovery
Buoy laying (where possible)
Dinghy Park Clean-Up
📅 11th April

We usually finish with coffee and bacon rolls in the clubhouse—a great social start to the season.
