Welcome to the home of one the largest fleet in the club.
Thirty five of the most attractive fixed keel, self righting sailing dinghies you will find anywhere, live and sail here. Since the building of the Clubs extended jetty and because also of the much higher water levels compared to the corresponding time last year we are enjoying an exciting winter racing season. The current points series attracts as many as twelve fleet boats to the Sunday morning starts.
With the age of the boats ranging from Classics, through Silver Fleet to brand new there is always competitive sailing to be had.
To complement our Sunday racing series we have regular social sailing evenings at a pub, participate in the Clubs Open Handicap competitions and join with the Midweekers for Wednesday daytime social cruising on the lake.
Yes, Fifteen sailors are the ones with big grins on their faces.
