Racing
Dinghy racing takes place in Oban Bay every Thursday evening, meeting at 6/6.30pm to be starting by 7pm, between April and October, and in the early part of the season on Sunday afternoons. There are a variety of dinghies which are regularly sailed by club members including Lasers, Toppers, Picos, Mirrors and various two- hander and trapeze boats. The club owns a number of Toppers and Picos used for training which are also available to club members during racing. Club members voluntarily train as Rescue Boat drivers and participate in a covering rota to enable the Dinghy sailing activities.
