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.
Fees for non-dinghy section member sailing in a club boat
If sailing as a dinghy section member there is no additional charge.
| Dinghy section member | Free |
| Non dinghy section club member sailing in club boat (unless by their presence the dinghy section member could not sail, in which case the sail is free). | £20 |
| Club member and crew using own boat | Free |
| Visitor to the club | £20 |
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.
