Club Fleet

Our fleet is available for members to use free of charge on Saturday, Sunday, and Wednesday evenings when safety cover is present.

How to borrow a club boat

Boats are available on a first-come, first-served basis, but members must:

- Obtain permission from the OOD (Officer of the Day) before taking a boat
- Complete a hire form before and after use — this helps track usage and report any issues

Hire forms are located in the Race Hut. If you're unsure, the OOD or a committee member will be happy to point you in the right direction.

Once you're finished sailing, please complete the second part of the hire form and report any damage or missing kit. This helps us keep the fleet in good condition and ready for everyone to enjoy.

ILCA 4

Club Boats:

Single Hander
Junior Class

The ILCA 4 uses a slightly pre-curved lower mast to ensure a balanced helm, combined with a sail area 35% smaller than the ILCA 7. This rig is ideal for the lighter-weight sailor transitioning from the Optimist.
