The club is located just off the beach at East Preston, midway between Worthing and Littlehampton. We have about 70 members with boats (including some 40 odd with Cats). Our compound has direct access to  the sea, and aided by a new winch, we have  sailing and recovery at all states of the tide.   Our Sprint 15 fleet has grown by 4 new active sailors this year ( 2014) and is back up to 15, and is the largest at the Club, with 15's usually being the largest class for club racing. Sprint 15’s have frequently won the Club’s annual Catamaran series. We only race about 12 times a year, but in between, there are 15's out on the water at odd times during the week and at most non-racing weekends. Most years we have run our own Sprint 15 training and tuning session to help bring newcomers up to speed (in some cases, far too successfully!) 

Although we are tight on space in the dinghy compound, there are always creative ways to accommodate new Sprint 15 sailors.  Please contact fleet captain Keith Bartlett 01243 778087 if you would like any more information, or visit our website www.opendinghy.co.uk.
