Dinghies

Great fun rowing, sailing or chugging along with an outboard motor!
There is no feeling quite like dinghy sailing.  To feel the wind take the sails and hear the rigging as it tightens and the whole boat becomes stressed and ready to do its job.  The wind would take the boat one way only, but you, with the boat hooked into the water by its centre plate, can make it go another.  At the balancing point of two primordial forces, the wind and the waves, you win by cunning and guile and the service of a good boat.

When the wind isn't right or there isn't the space, then rowing is a great way to let the whole family enjoy being afloat and seeing the landscape and wildlife from a revitalising perspective.  For greater distances, working against tides and currents the assistance of a small outboard  is most welcome.

We have some great little boats on offer, and some slightly bigger ones as well!  See our range below and click on the links for more details.  All boats can be rowed and will take an outboard motor.
