Classes used for training by cadets

what's popular

We do not turn away any class of boat that you have and want to sail (provided it is within the club guidelines) and cadets do sail a wide variety of dinghies.

That said, we do encourage certain classes so that the children can learn from each other in boats suitible for their size and ability.


Optimist Class

Optimist

single hander

The Optimist is the ideal starter dinghy for the junior cadets.

The Club has access to a number of the plastic hull version the Optibat.


Topper Class

Topper

single hander

Progressing from the Optimist, the Topper provides a rugged boat for single handed training once cadets get too big for the Optimist.


Mirror Class

Mirror

double hander

The Mirror Dinghy offers cadet sailors all the facilities to develop their skills on a two handed boat with Spinnaker.
