HOW TO JOIN

Best way... come down for a chat. There's plenty of friendly people to help you out or point you in the direction of those who can. We generally race on Saturday afternoons with Junior training in the mornings. So from around 9 am to 6 pm there will be someone there to help you.

We have club boats available if you want a no-obligation try at dingy sailing (contact us first). There is also almost always a lonely skipper(s) desperately seeking a crew for the day. This is often the best way to try sailing (skipper dependent).
