The Club has an active dinghy
section that meets mainly at the weekend and on Thursday evenings. The sailing section
caters for all types of sailing from competitive racing to trips along the coast for a
pint and a pasty.
All levels of experience are welcomed with rescue facilities available to
boost the confidence of the beginner and open meetings to challenge the more experienced
racer. Dinghies and catamarans of all classes are encouraged with no restrictions on size,
speed, weight or number of crew.
Each year an RYA recognised beginners course is run at
nearby Dover Watersports Centre, enabling those who have never set foot in a dinghy to become competent sailors.
Advice is always available from the more experienced members and training days are run
during the year.
The Club has a fleet of dinghies for hire including Toppers, Lasers and
420s, and offers reduced fees for children and students. Additionally many crewing
opportunities arise in two-man boats and experienced members are always available to
assist those who lack the confidence to go out alone. In this way the sport of sailing is
open and affordable to everyone.
