This is a joint venture with other local u3as and is run by the Chess Valley u3a at Rickmansworth Sailing Club from April to October.
We are a friendly group and although we cannot provide formal qualifications, we are keen to encourage our members to 'have a go' in a safe environment.
The group have the use of several two and three-man dinghies and members can also go out in single handed Lasers if they feel competent to do so.
Our usual sailing days are normally the second Tuesday and fourth Wednesday of the month, from 1pm to about 5pm, but please check the Chess Valley u3a timetable for variations. All are welcome, whether beginners or experienced sailors. Our lake is sheltered and shallow but there is always a safety boat on standby, manned by trained volunteers.
We are looking forward to the start of the upcoming 2026 sailing season, having had a break over the winter. The schedule of dates will appear on the Dinghy Sailing page on the Chess Valley U3A website.
