Dinghy Sailing

Overview

Benfleet Yacht Club's dinghy sailing and racing predominantly takes place in the sheltered waters of Benfleet Creek.

We have an extensive racing programme running throughout the entire year, which encompasses all classes and types of sailing dinghies.

Our members sail an eclectic mix of boats, ranging from single handed Laser's, Topper's & RS Tera's through to two person Wayfarer, GP14 etc. Basically, anything goes.
