Dinghy Racing

Fleet Captains: Matthew Fair, Chris Walmsley

KYC has undertaken to revive the once vibrant dinghy racing by providing support to dingy sailors to participate in club racing on Wednesday nights. This is a new initiative and input and flexibility from both the sailing committee and the dinghy fleet participants will be required to ensure a successful summer of dinghy sailing. The mission is to provide every club member who is interested in dinghy racing the opportunity and support required to have a fun, safe, and competitive dingy racing series. We hope that many club members from novice racer to seasoned international elite calibre racers will participate. This may provide many useful training opportunities for both junior club members and staff and also those who are wishing to improve their performance at national and international regattas.
