Dinghies: Social Sailing

Event Details

Social Sailing


The Dinghy Sailing Committee has recognised that there is a significant level of interest in weekday sailing without the need for training and therefore the dates below are where there will be a Safety Boat on the water to provide any help where needed.
This is not a replacement for Week Day Sailing where group training is provided.
Social Sailing Days are free for all and provide a Patrol Boat with a volunteer helm.
Club members can sign up for free by completing the registration form for the event via the club website calendar in the same way as racing events.
The following requirements must be met for the event to proceed.
  • There must be a volunteer helm registered on the event registration page
  • The helm must have a RYA PB2 accreditation.
  • There must be a minimum of 3 registered dinghies
  • Any help can only be provided within line-of-sight of the PB. For example, if the group decides on a cruise all must go and stay in LOS of the PB.
20 Places Remaining.
