New club Solo demo dates
- Details
New modern Club Solo available for sailing.
MSC has purchased Solo 4444 to improve it's fleet of available boats to hire.
The Solo is a single handed dinghy suitable for casual sailing as well as racing and is available with all of our other boats on Thursday Evenings, Saturday or Sunday. The boat is more comfortable and roomy than say,a Laser, with less chance of getting wet, so a good boat to try for the less experienced or new sailor.
If you would like some help with the Solo to rig and sail, Mark Savill, Solo Fleet Captain, will be available on Saturday 20th April and Saturday 18th May to assist. If you have a particular time in mind please email at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
