Our Fleet

RS Feva

NEW! A brand new boat for 2010. A favorite with young sailors wanting to progress from single handed dinghies. The Feva is the RYA youth asymetric dinghy which is great for both novice and experienced sailors due to its simple and versatile design and construction.

Topper Xenon

This year we have kindly been donated a Topper Xenon, this is very similar to the RS Vision although ours is set up with high performance sails which means that we can teach all modules of the sailing schemes in appropriate boats.

The Oppie

The Oppie is a great small single handed boat for youngsters to try their hand at sailing. Students as young as seven can be introduced to sailing in the safety of the model yacht pond. The Trust currently operates twelve Oppies.

Length 2.3m | Beam 1.13m | Weight 35kg
Mainsail 3.3m²

The Laser Pico

In 2007 we introduced 12 Laser Picos to our fleet, this was to replace our ageing Toppers, we felt that the Pico was the obvious replacement as they have a centre-mainsheet which is the style of most modern dinghies. As well as this they are made of strong durable plastic which make them relatively low maintenance. Since their entry into the fleet they have proved very popular with both adults and children alike. 

Length 3.5m | Beam 1.37m | Weight 60kg
Mainsail 5.1m²

The Taz

The Taz is the ideal starter boat with beach cred and is suitable as a transitional boat between the Oppie and Pico. The trust operates three of these boats.

Mainsail 4.06m²

The Hawk 20

our two Hawk 20′s are open keelboats with which we have been able to introduce people from all walks of life in the safe confines of the boats, they have been fantastic in that we have been able to people with a range of disabilities and has let gain status as a Foundation Sailability centre. 

They can take 6 students and an instructor comfortably.
