Policy for Locks Sailing Club Junior Dinghies

Locks have currently three small dinghies for the use of Club members.

Two of these are Toppers, one obtained by a grant from the John Merricks Fund.

The third is an RS FEVA, which was obtained with a grant from the British Marine Federation following a successful submission by one of our junior members. This is two-handed boat for use by juniors, particularly but not exclusively those with disabilities or learning difficulties that are not competent in single handers.

The use of these boats for juniors at our Junior Evenings or Junior Events will be at the direction of the Hon Sailing Secretary or the Club Member in charge for the event.

These Junior Dinghies are available at other times for Club Junior Members to borrow with a £12 fee payable, which will go toward the maintenance and replacement fund for these boats. To arrange the use of these dinghies outside of Junior Events please contact:

The Junior Dinghy Bosun Paul Phelan on 02392 598585 or 07973424875

Please note use of one of these dinghies by completing the details in the notebook in the Club Foyer.

Payment must be by cheque to the treasurer or Junior Bosun.
