Welcome to Dinghy Sailing at Helford River Sailing Club!

This section of our friendly club aims to provide dinghy sailing for all ages and experience levels.

So whether you are a complete novice, vaguely interested in trying dinghy sailing for the first time,
have lots of experience, or are an expert racer, we hope you will find something to suit you.

We have three main activity areas:
Adult Sailing
   Junior Sailing   Club Racing

Adult Dinghy Sailing
Adult sailing is held on Tuesday evenings throughout the summer and provides friendly, informal tuition for adult sailors using the clubs own sailing dinghies with full safety cover. The sessions are hosted by experienced volunteer sailors and provide a wonderful opportunity for complete novices to take their first steps in sailing in the beautiful sheltered waters of our river. It won’t be long before you feel completely at home on the water within an enthusiastic group of mixed ability but like minded individuals. The skills you learn here will stand you in good stead for all forms of sailing and you can develop them further by joining in with the dinghy racing on Thursday evenings, either as crew or sailing one of the club boats yourself.

Junior Sailing
Friendly informal group tuition is provided for youngsters aged between 8 and 16 years by experienced club members using Optimist, Topper and Wayfarer dinghies with full safety cover on Friday evenings during the summer. These sessions provide a marvellous opportunity for personal development of our children acquiring the skills of sailing and seamanship whilst having fun on the water. The sessions are open to all youngsters regardless of experience.

Club Racing
Club races are held on Thursday evenings and Sundays throughout the summer depending on the tide. The format for club racing is either a line start from a committee boat or the popular pursuit races from the Club Start Line. There are several series organised throughout the season including a number of Cup races for club trophies. Club boats are available for racing at the discretion of Captain Dinghies.       See results of Spring Series 2008.
