Club Boat Hire

We have over 30 club dinghies for members to hire including Toppers, Topper Argos, RS Qubas, RS Fevas, Laser and Wayfarers. We are in the process of moving to an improved system for booking and paying for club boats online.

We expect that the new system will be up and running by February, ready for use by members during the 2025 Sailing season.

Single-handed – e.g. Topper, Laser
£5
Multi-handed – e.g. Wayfarer
£10
Multi-handed – Argo
£15

There is no charge for cadets. Please contact the Boat Booking Admin to make a booking.

  • Club boats are only available for use at Club events when safety boat cover is provided.
  • For races, club hire boats are available only to take part in racing.
  • For flotillas, club hire boats are available only to take part in the flotilla.
