Menagerie page

Menagerie.jpg

We have a wide range of boats sailed at the club, both recreationally and for racing.  There are Menagerie races on Sundays, Wednesdays during the summer and more informal racing on Saturdays.  We use a version of the RYA PY Handicap System for Menagerie racing that reflects how boats sail locally.

While the Solos have their own class start for Sunday racing, the other classes join in the menagerie (handicap) group and are first to start on Sunday. This group will typically include Phantoms, Merlins and an assortment of Wineglass, Comet, Finn, Aero, EPS, Streaker, RS400, Wayfarer and naturally the Laser/Radial.

Club members can also hire boats for recreational sailing: Toppers, Optimist (free), Laser, Laser 2000 and Wayfarer.
