Sailing Times
Provided
that the safety boat is manned and ready to
operate, sailing may take place at any time
except when specific events such as open meetings
are taking place. A calendar of these events is published at the start
of each season. Saturdays are popular for
recreational family sailing, when a safety
service is staffed on a rota basis from early May
through to September.
Club Boats
Subject to
availability there are a number of club craft in which novices
and children can gain experience. At present these include
Enterprise, GP14, Laser, Laser Pico and Topper.
The club dinghies may be used free of charge by
Junior members and under 14's respectively. Other
boats are charged for usage to sailing members on
a daily basis as follows:
