The Club owns a number of dinghies, including Picos, Toppers, a
Bosun and an Access. The Access is a sailing boat that was specifically
designed to be suitable for disabled sailing. All these boats are available to
hire to those members who would like to 'have a go' before deciding to buy
their own boat.
We want to see these boats used as much as possible, they may
be used for cruising around the lake or to take part in our racing program
however please remember they are for the use and enjoyment of everyone so
please note the rules below.

The Toppers |
|
The Topper is a single Handed boat ideal for youngsters and
beginners. The Rig is simple to master and the boat construction very durable
- You can make the odd mistake and not break it!
|
|
The Picos |
|
The Picos, may be sailed either as a single Handed boat or by a
crew of two. It also has two rig options. Single sailed like the Topper or
with a Jib and mainsail as seen in these photos. |
|
The Bosun |
|
The Bosun is an older boat of traditional construction. It is a
large and more stable boat and therefore good for beginners to go out with a
more experienced sailor. It is also more suitable for Adults than the other
smaller boats. |
|
The Access |
|
The Access is a small and easily handled boat. It was
originally designed to help disabled sailors take part in Sailing. The club
has one of these boats.
Please contact us if you want to know more about it and
what help there might be available to use it. |
