Boat Hire

If you're a keen sailor in Bridgwater and looking for a local event to participate in, Durleigh Sailing Club has got you covered. The club, located in Somerset, is a small Sailing Centre managed entirely by dedicated volunteers. They may not have the extensive resources of larger centres, but what they lack in size they certainly make up for in a friendly and welcoming atmosphere.

Durleigh Sailing Club is open to visiting Dinghy Sailors who are either on holiday or just passing through the area and itching to get out on the water. So even if you don't have your own dinghy, fret not! They offer dinghy hire services, ensuring that you won't miss out on the opportunity to experience the thrill of sailing. Just give them as much notice as possible, and they'll have a dinghy ready for you. How convenient is that?

Now, let's talk about the hire rates. For a full day of sailing, the cost for hiring a Wayfarer, Laser (Standard or Radial rig), or Laser Pico is just $20. Looking for a half day option? No problem! They've got you covered with a hire rate of just $15. If you're more interested in a Topper dinghy, the rates drop even further, with a full day costing just $10 and a half day option for just $5. Affordable and flexible, it's really a win-win situation.

Please note that for non-members, an additional $15 temporary day membership fee is also applicable. This fee is a small price to pay for the opportunity to enjoy a fantastic day of sailing with Durleigh Sailing Club.

So, whether you're a seasoned sailor or someone who's just getting started, grab this chance to be a part of a thrilling sailing event in Bridgwater. The club operates during the summer months on Wednesday evenings, and on weekends starting from April until October.
