Don't hit it, Dave!
Members’ racing takes place on Sundays all year round and Wednesday evenings during the Summer. Test your skills in competition with other members. We will buddy you up with an experienced racing member to get you started. The Club welcomes dinghies, catamarans, keelboats and sailboards. While there is no restriction on racing classes, we do actively support particular types and encourage one-design racing for boats with a significant regular presence in Club racing. (Click through to ‘Fleets’ for details.)
The uninterrupted expanse of water affords all round visibility for the radio co-ordinated rescue service. With your safety in mind , the Club has 2 full time coxswains and a strong volunteer crew using high-speed purpose-designed rescue craft. The Club provides relevant training and qualifications.
