The Fleet

We have a fleet of thirteen sailing dinghies to suit a range of abilities and needs, plus two Avon RIBs (rigid inflatable boats). These RIBs are our Safety Boats and they constantly patrol the fleet while a sailing session is in progress to make sure all is well.

Most people start with a sail in one of our three Wayfarers, or our larger Whammel or Viva. These boats are skippered by one of our experienced sailors so if you wish you can simply sit back and enjoy the ride. As your confidence grows, you might like to take control of the sheets (the ropes that control the sails) or even try your hand at the helm (steering).

If you already have some knowledge of sailing, you might like to have some one-to-one tuition in a Wayfarer or take out one of our five Walker bay dinghies. These ten-foot dinghies have an inflatable collar which makes them virtually capsize-proof.

Also available is a Tracer 17-foot keel boat that can be sailed by "sip and puff" or joystick control systems.

In addition, we have two Trimarans which can be sailed single-handed by those with reasonable upper-body capability.
