Club Boat Hire

Club Boats

We have over 30 club dinghies for members to hire including Toppers, Topper Argos, RS Qubas, RS Fevas, Laser and Wayfarers. These are grouped into three main categories:

Single-handed – e.g. Topper, Quba, Laser
£5		Multi-handed – e.g. Wayfarer, Feva
£10		Multi-handed – Argo
£15
There is no charge for Cadet or Student members.

You can find detailed information for rigging the boats in the following documents.  No need to memorise it all – nearly everything is kept rigged during the season.

New Booking System:

We are in the process of moving to an improved system for booking and paying for club boats online. We hope that the new system will be up and running in March, ready for use by members during the 2025 Sailing season. This button takes you through to the booking system, but it is still undergoing tests and not fully operational.
