This is for booking a Laser sailing dinghy only.

The Laser is ideal for a solo adult or older youth and is a more challenging boat.

It is located 2nd from the left in the row of dinghies closest to the water.

Please book by Wednesday 8.00pm to avoid disappointment! Boat availability is bookable as two sailing time slots 530-630 & 645-745. Time before and after are available for socialising (self serve tea & coffee facilities provided on site, if boat is available before or after you are welcome to extend time frame.)

Children to be accompanied onsite by a responsible adult please.

Volunteers are needed to help launch people out on the water, organise a friendly club race and to assist in the safety boat (PB2 to drive, no requirement to assist, please email to confirm interest) are needed to help make these evenings a success.

All participants go out at their own risk, safety cover is limited but around if anyone gets into problems. There will also be other Killington members utilising the location as well, so please be considerate, especially with parking, changing room space and youth spending long times in the changing rooms (As this can prevent adults entering).

Children to be accompanied by a responsible adult please.

Try and car share where possible and park considerately, as there is limited parking available. (Extra parking is available at the fishermans car park on the road leading to the the club)

Clothing

Please come prepared in clothing and footwear that you can get wet in.

For most of the year a wetsuit would be ideal but layers are important to keep you warm as you can be sat around and possibly get wet. The club does not have a supply of wetsuits- please bring your own.

Quick drying layers, base layers, fleeces and a waterproof layer can all help. A waterproof layer can help keep the wind chill off. Trainers work well as a footwear option. In sunny, warm weather please consider suncream. A change of clothes and a towel for going home in is useful.

If you wear glasses please consider wearing a glasses retainer strap.

Killington Sailing Club is 600 feet above sea level, more exposed and generally colder than Arnside. Remember that it also tends to be cooler on the water than on land. It is better to bring too much clothing than too little.

Buoyancy Aids

We can provide buoyancy aids, sailing gloves and safety helmets (children under 16).

If you have your own buoyancy aid (min 50N, in good condition, appropriate for your size- see the label on the inside), please bring it with you, the instructor will make a decision on its suitability before going on the water.

Safety boat cover (supervised by the instructor) will be available after 530pm dependent upon volunteer assistance and instructor demands on shore.
