Dinghy Section – how to sail without owning a dinghy yourself

Dinghy Section (DS) Membership entitles you to sail on Club dinghy cruises, to sail the Club boats at Frensham and to hire any of the dinghies on a daily basis (given appropriate skill and experience). It is a non-equity fractional ownership scheme for access to the boats.

For more detail please see the information for joining the dinghy section.

If you plan to sail your own boat (which is the majority of our members)

We expect any privately owned boat to be as seaworthy as our club boats, with appropriate insurance. It should be reef-able afloat if you want to join us on longer and more adventurous cruises (see recommended equipment levels depending on venue and destination). Please ensure that your boat is sufficiently seaworthy for your planned activities.

Unconventional Launching and Recovery Surfaces and boat lifting and moving

We often have to move boats across unconventional launching surfaces, such as rocky seaweed covered foreshores, and we occasionally have to manually lift boats with no trolley available to the tidal waters where there is a falling tide and anchoring is prohibited. Please ensure that your boat is easy to lift, provide roller bags if it is heavy and ensure that your trolley and trolley tyres are robust.

Health Declaration

We respect GDPR and do not store any information on individual member’s health on any electronic system,

We ask that participants on Club events disclose discreetly to the daysail leader or their skipper at the event any medical condition or disability which may affect the safety of their participation or that of others. Details of next-of-kin or other contact address must be provided for notification in the event of an accident or medical emergency.

Club Rules

Members should be aware of and abide by the Constitution and Club Rules

Summer Camp 11th August – Upriver

Posted on by

The wind was forecasted to be from the East F3-4 early on Monday morning, and so 7 boats took to the water at 06:30 on a Monday morning in a raging spring flood current to sail and float upstream.

  • Trio Debbie, Mel & Steve
  • Trio Donna, Alan, Joshua, Lewis
  • Trio Rob and Stephen
  • Laser 2k David and Martin
  • Weta Chris & Adri
  • GP14 Mike & James
  • Trio Anna & Simon

The objective was to enjoy the nature of the early morning drift, so we chose not to use engines, instead choosing to paddle. The bright morning began with the predicted Easterly which powered us nicely for the first 30 minutes and the destination of Landshipping seemed secure. Then the wind dropped and we drifted with the current for a while, before the wind set in again, and this pattern of a small bit of wind and then flat calm repeated itself during the four hour cruise. We turned at 08:30 when the tide turned, about half a mile short of Landshipping.

Many of us then risked the challenging manoeuvre of landing on the jetty at Rudders Boatyard for some of the best bacon rolls, sausage rolls, croissants and excellent coffee. We stayed a long while until we were shoo’d off the jetty (and to be fair, we had stopped eating and drinking by then) and dashed across the ebb to arrive back at camp.

Approximately 10Nm sailed or drifted over about 4 hours will not break any speed records, but being on the river in the early morning light, and seeing the nature going about it’s business was a treat.
