Social Dinghy Sailing

Social Dinghy Sailing 2024 Season

ABOUT SOCIAL DINGHY SAILING

Social dinghy sailing is a relaxed, non-competitive time on the water with rescue boat cover, run jointly with Emsworth Sailing Club. There are plenty of racing opportunities at Slipper but this is not one of them!

All club members are welcome but the sessions, which are all midweek, give an opportunity for less experienced sailors to have practise time on the water with safety boat support. Depending on winds and weather, we might sail a course around the buoys, have a picnic on Fowley Island or sail to The Ship at Langstone. Paddle boarders and kayakers are also welcome. The programme is on the club calendar: https://www.emsworthslippersc.org.uk/events where safety boat cox and crew can sign up for duties.

If you're planning to join in, please email vivien_reed@hotmail.com with your mobile number so that you can sign up on the WhatsApp group Slipper Social Sailing.

'Rigged and ready' means ready on the beach to launch your boat so please allow at least half an hour before the start time. Sign on at www.emsdinghies.com but if you want to leave a session early or stay out longer let the rescue boat crew know and don't forget to sign off.

See you on the water!
