We currently have regular races for the following classes (representatives):
The handicap fleet includes any suitable dinghies up to 14ft that members bring to the club and want to race (see list of main classes currently used at the club). Longer dinghies may be sailed at the club but not raced, although we do race our sailing cruisers, see opposite.
There are several types of races, some separate for each class listed above, others where all classes race together, sometimes with individual prizes for each class. There are also pursuit races, where the slower class boats start first and then each faster class in turn up to the fastest. The result of the race depends on whether the faster boats can pass the slower boats in the set time available. For full list of races, see calendar.
Classes are reviewed each year and, if the number of boats from a class participating in racing make a change appropriate, then the change is made. For example, if more Mirrors started racing regularly that they could race as a class on their own rather than as part of the Handicap fleet.
