Dinghy Racing

Evening racing is our most popular club dinghy racing, without tidal constraints for launch and recovery, we sail every Wednesday and Friday evening from late April to mid-September (A, B and C Series). We continue into October with a Friday afternoon D Series. Sunday morning racing starts mid-September with the Autumn Series and Winter Series, followed by the Aussie Summer Series from January to March. Normally one race per day with a target duration of 60-90 minutes.
