Races are grouped into a sequence of monthly series starting in April and running through to the end of September.

All races are conducted on an open handicap basis - our fleet includes a variety of dinghies from Toppers to RS600 and similar.
​
Visiting sailors are welcome to compete in all races, which are open to non-members.
​
Trophies are awarded each month.
​
An entry fee is payable for each race or series of races.
​
Entries must be made at the starting hut on the seafront at least 30 minutes prior to racing.

The dinghy racing programme is prepared to provide a height of 2m above chart datum (i.e. 1.5m of water at the inshore buoys) for a period of 1.5 hours after the start. Helmsmen with deep-draft dinghies should ensure that they will have sufficient water for their craft.
​
As a rough guide, the bottom of the slip dries at about 2m above chart datum and the tidal rise in 10 mins for a tide range of 6m is:
​
1hr after LW - 12cm (5 inches)
2hrs after LW - 22cm (8.5 inches)
3hrs after LW - 25cm (10 inches)
