Racing is conducted in a very friendly and relaxed manner with all members encouraged to participate. One of the best ways to improve your own sailing skills is to compete with others, watch what the race leaders do and then copy and learn! We have, among our members, class and club racing coaches. We normally offer racing on Thursday afternoons, which includes on the water coaching.
For the more experienced, Rutland Sailing Club welcomes our members to participate in Thursday evening racing, April to September and on Sundays throughout the year. Our members have been Rutland Sailing Club Dinghy Champions many times.
Additionally, members who reach the standard for competitive racing regularly sail outside these periods. These keen racing members often sail throughout the year taking part in events, at their own expense, throughout the UK and some even travel overseas.
To support the practical skills of our racing sailors we arrange theory sessions on tactics, rules and boat tuning. Our sailors have also taken part in international events in many parts of the world including France, Japan and Holland.
