Adult Dinghy Sailing

Adult Dinghy Sailing on Friday Mornings

Adult Dinghy Sailing is a great opportunity for both women and men to get out on the water developing confidence and skills sailing dinghies and maintaining any powerboating skills.

We meet on Friday mornings at 9.30am in Lobster Quay. Our aim is to get out on the water in a friendly, enjoyable environment, sailing dinghies with ample safety cover. We are a mixed ability group, from people who have learnt recently to dinghy instructors. Our common aim is to encourage and help each other on the water, whilst also being sociable and having a chat. 

Members sail in their own boats, and club boats can be booked for these sessions.  The club has both single and double-handed dinghies for hire; there may be some opportunities for crewing in a double-handed dinghy to help build confidence.

Women on Water (WoW) on Tuesday Evenings

A small group of adult dinghy sailors meet on Tuesdays at Lobster Quay in the evening at 18:00 to go out sailing with Club RIBs for company. Again, members sail in their own boats, and club boats can be booked for these sessions.  Men are also welcome!

Single Handed Training

We occasionally offer the opportunity for adult members to learn to sail a single-handed dinghy within a group of other adults.  You would learn the basics of rigging and sailing a Pico in a safe sheltered environment, with qualified RYA coaches.  You would need your own buoyancy aid, an eagerness to learn and the expectation that you may get a bit damp.  When available this would probably be a 6 week course run in Spring – for further information please contact Jan or Charlotte at adultdinghy@warsashsc.org.uk

All sessions above are pre-booked only via the Spond App.  For further information or to request access to the Spond App please contact Jan or Charlotte on adultdinghy@warsashsc.org.uk.
