Open to any adults over 18 who have level 1 and 2 dinghy certificate. This is an opportunity for the grown ups to have some fun! Through popular request our instructors, parents and students get frustrated watching the youngsters on the water from the bank and would like a chance to keep their own skills up to date. Adult racing is also an option for those who want to have a go, but not compulsory. The plan is to relax and have some fun.
