02. Laser Sailing Dinghies

The Laser is a single-handed racing dinghy great for adults and youth whatever your size, 
as interchangeable rigs means you can sail with smaller or larger sails to suit.

  • 3x laser rigs

  • 2x radial rigs

  • 1x laser 4.7 rig

03. Far East 11 Sailing Dinghies

04. Stand Up Paddleboards

There are 4x SUPs at the club, 2x green and 2x blue boards. Boards and paddles are stored in the racking at the back of the storage basement.

05. Surfskis

  • 12x Nelo 510 Surfskis, blue and pink coloured, stored on outside racks close to the changing rooms. These are beginner level surfskis, but still less stable than your average kayak, so some skill may be required. If you are unsure of how to use the surfski's, join one of our 'Learn to Paddle' courses run throughout the year.

  • 1x Surfski - an orange, rotomoulded-plastic boat, stored on the racks outside. This is a beginner/intermediate level ski (in terms of stability) so some paddling skills may be required to paddle this ski effectively.

  • 1x Fennix Flying Fish Double Surfski, located on the side of the middle rack in the basement.
