It has been pleasing to see some dinghy sailors enjoying time on the water in the last couple of days since the relaxing of Government restrictions in relation to COVID-19.  Now, in keeping in line with these Government restrictions, we are very excited to offer our dinghy sailing members  some dinghy training later this week to help maintain skill level and fitness during these unprecedented times.
