Dinghy Classes.

PERMITTED BOATS

Due to the size of water (and lease) we do restrict the size of dinghy

No class of dinghy greater than 15ft. No Asymmetric and/or Bowsprit. No Trapeze. No Wings. (Moth/Blaze etc.) No Foiling Boats.

Currently the most popular classes of boat raced are: Laser, GP14, Solo and Comet.

Specifically aimed at the junior sailor we have the RS Quba, Laser Pico and the ever popular Topper.  We also have an Optimist, the classic starter boat for the youngest sailors.

SUNDAY RACING.

Races will be under either Points, Fleet, Trophy or Pursuit formats as published in the Sailing Calendar.

Youth sailors are encouraged to attend earlier and participate in the racing  There is a Novice category in the races with a separate start and some relaxation of the sailing rules to make starting to race easier.

LASER / LASER RADIAL (now known as the ILCA7 and ILCA6)

The current fleet consists of sailors of all age ranges, but is still very competitive.

SOLO

The current fleet is currently the largest class of boats sailed at the club, and like the Laser, consists of all age ranges.

COMET

The Comet has become increasingly popular in recent years and has shown itself a boat which is well suited to local conditions.  The fleet also has a wide age range.

GP14

The GP has remains a popular class within the club, as it has done for over 40 years at Aylesbury.

Sadly the current fleet has seen a decline in its racing numbers, but for those still racing its remains friendly, competitive and second to none with their hospitality off the water.

Other boats regularly sailed at Aylesbury include Europe, Mirror, RS Quba, National 12 and Toppers.
