We share the clubhouse and sailing water with Sutton Sailing Club with whom we have a good working relationship.
What we do:
We sail and race radio controlled yachts on Tuesday and Thursday afternoons each week; races start at 1.30pm.
The boats that we race:
Footy- the smallest of the yachts at one ft long
Micro Magic– A very popular one design class
Dragon Force 65: Also a popular one design class that can be fitted with a larger sail.
Dragon Flight 95: A new class that is rapidly growing in popularity.
RG65: A popular international class that can also include Dragon Force 65
International One Meter: The designs within this class can vary with the newer and more expensive boats becoming more competitive than older designs.
Facilities:
We are fortunate to use the excellent clubhouse and facilities of Sutton Sailing Club which provides a good view of the all the water and race area. Tea and biscuits is available on our sailing days.
Club Officers:
