Datchet Water Sailing Club

Club Racing

 

Club Racing is scheduled for Sunday mornings throughout the year at Datchet.  We also run a Wednesday evening series during the summer months.

 

Sunday morning racing starts at 10.25 with two races run back to back.  There are six starts for each race with the classes split into groups mainly dependent on the types of courses they wish to sail.  The current groupings are shown in the table below.

 

 

Club Fleets

 

The main existing one design fleets at the club are the Laser and Flying Fifteens.  We are also developing fleets of RS 500’s, RS 200’s, 49er’s, RS 700’s.  Separate fleet pages for each of these classes are being developed under the links on the left.
