Handicap Fleet

Salcombe yacht club organises handicap dinghy racing every week from March to December. The Spring and Winter series include all classes (when no individual class racing takes place).

From April to October the smaller handicap fleet regularly features Lasers, National 12's, RS200's and Topaz's amongst others. This provides an opportunity for anyone to enjoy regular racing and improve their sailing skills, without committing to a specific class, whilst still enjoying the challenging conditions Salcombe estuary has to offer.

New competitiors, whether beginners or experienced, are always welcome.
