Club Boats

Club Craft use at Teesdale SWC

We are very lucky at Teesdale SWC to have a large fleet of club boats for members to use free of charge. The Club currently offers:

6x Oppies
1x RS Tera
4x Toppers
6x Laser Picos
4x RS Fevas
2x Lasers
1x Solo
1x Wanderer
2x Laser Bahias
1x Laser Vago
1x Supernova

These are also our training boats and if they are being used for organised training courses they will not be available to use at these times. However, there is almost always a boat available for you to sail. In addition we have:

4x adult SUPs
2x junior SUPs
4x sit on kayaks

It is not necessary to book club boats, SUPs or kayaks in advance, but please be prepared to share them as demand requires.

How it Works:

It is not necessary to book club boats, SUPs or kayaks in advance, the system works on a first come - first served basis. But please prepared to share club equipment is there is heavy demand for a particular item.

By using a club boat you are agreeing to the 'Club Boats Terms and Conditions' which can be viewed on this website under 'Our Club'. Please leave the boat as you find it; put away the parts, fit the cover and tie it down securely.

Brief boat details are below. If you are unsure which boat is best for you please speak to one of the committee or a senior club member.

Oppie

Single handed junior boats (up to 12 years). Great for learning.

RS Tera

A step up from the Oppies in size. A good single handed transition boat. 10 to 14 years.

Topper

Great for smaller more flexible people from 10 to 60 years and possibly beyond! A single hander that can plane in a strong wind.

Laser Pico

A good all round single hander, but with a small jib that can allow for two. Teenagers to flexible adults! Can get going when the wind gets up.

Solo

A single hander with a relaxed seating position - better for less agile adults. A bigger sail than the Pico and more demanding to sail.

Laser

A fairly demanding single hander. Very fast and exciting in a strong wind. Available with a standard or smaller radial rig.

RS Feva

A double hander with an asymmetrical spinnaker. Ideal for teenagers or an adult and child.

Laser Vago

A double hander with an asymmetrical spinnaker and trapeze. Well mannered in light to moderate winds, and exciting in a blow.

Laser Bahia

Room for five in this big boat, that does everything from learning to sail to trapezing with the spinnaker set. Not the fastest boat on the water, but great fun.

Wanderer

Relaxed cruising and racing for up to five. Plenty of space in this classic dinghy.
