★★★★★ Dinghy racing
“Racing three times a week in high season and a fleet for every ability. The Scow fleet is the friendliest start to racing you could ask for.”
Peter D. · June 2026 · membership verified
★★★★☆ Cruiser membership
“The launch service to moorings is worth the subscription alone. Dinghy park spaces have a wait at peak times — plan ahead.”
