About the Solo class

The National Solo is a classic, one-design, single handed dinghy. Designed by Jack Holt in 1956,the Solo remains a popular dinghy, sailed at manyclubs in the UK, Holland and Australia.

Racing:

Club racing for Solos at FGSC is well supported by friendly, helpful helms with a wide range of sailing abilities, which means that there is always someone to race against, no matter what standard of skills you may have. Several FGSC Solo helms participate successfully at the Solo Championships and Open Meetings at other Clubs.

Talking of Open Meetings, FGSC has its own established Solo Open Meeting, normally held towards the end of September, which is always well attended by Club sailors and visitors alike.

There is normally a Solo Training day held at the club each year which is well supported, taught by National champions and NSCA qualified trainers.
