SSC Dinghy Racing

The Club has a full season of racing for dinghies. These are mainly handicap events, based upon the Portsmouth Yardstick / Numbers. Currently the most popular racing class in the Club is the Wayfarer, and there is a race trophy for this class. The Laser comes second in the racing popularity and there is a miscellany of other class dinghies including a Laser Stratos and a couple of Mirror 16's which may well be the last of this 1970's class which are still racing.

Races are held on Wednesday evenings from April to the beginning of September and also on Sundays from April to November. Visitors are welcome to join in the non open events on a for fun only basis. The early Thaw Series and end of season Frosties are open to non-members. The New Year's Day Artic Antic and the Three Rivers Race are also open events. The latter is unusual in that the competitors choose their starting time (within limits) and can decide which way to go round a prescribed course, which includes the Rivers Alde, Ore, and Butley. For details of racing events contact the Vice Commodore Dinghies.
