The Heron Dinghy remains as versatile and multi-functional as it was when it was first designed over 50 years ago. It provides safe, family fun or competitive one design racing.
It is a dinghy that has stood the test of time and is enjoyed throughout the U.K and beyond.

As you would expect in the current times there is some important information to be aware of. There will be a safety briefing at the club on the first day before the first race which will outline the specific measures in place regarding the club.
In the mean time, please be advised that:
-
Changing rooms and toilet facilities will be available, but people must maintain 2m social distancing.
-
There will be no active safety boat cover. A safety boat will be available in case of emergency, but will not actively support unless there is a serious incident. Which leads onto the below.
-
All boats will be required to have a 5 litre mast head float to prevent inversion. These will be supplied to each boat and you do not need bring your own. However, you will be required to use one to participate.
-
There will not be the usual catering arrangement at the club but will be an external prepacked sandwich stall which will be available for purchase. Please make sure you have plenty of water bottles and any other sustenance you may require as catering is restricted.
