Whether you’re an adrenaline junkie or a relaxation addict, you’re sure to find something about sailing dinghies that will float your boat!
Dinghy sailing differs from yachting mainly because a sailing dinghy is smaller and doesn’t have a keel. The crew must, therefore, use their weight to balance the boat and keep it upright.
Learn to sail on our AS/RYA Level 1 course and then join a Level 2 course to improve your skills. After that, you are ready to start racing or hire a boat and go dinghy cruising around fabulous Middle Harbour.
Whatever it takes, get away from the screen and feel the freedom of the wind on the water. It’s great for the mind, body, and soul!
