    CLUB DINGHIES

The club has 6 GP14s, 14 foot (4.3 m) long which is our main racing class.   The Welsh Harp has one of the largest GP fleets in the country.

We have 6 club Lasers (4.2 m long), the most exciting Olympic class of single-hander, with Radial and 4.7 rig options.

We have 2 Challenger trimarans (4.6 m long) as part of the RYA Sailability programme for the disabled.

Topper dinghy
We have 2 club Picos
(3.5 m long) used for training and fun sailing for all ages.


We have 8 Toppers
(3.4 m long) for youth sailing

and 2 Optimists
(2.4 m long)


Thanks to a Lottery Fund grant in 1998 we were able to purchase 6 new GP14s and 4 new Lasers (as well as a new Safety Boat and windsurfing equipment described separately).

Since then we have had a rolling replacement programme to ensure that we always have enough high quality club boats and boards for members to train and race in before (in most cases) they buy their own.

In 2004 we were given 2 new Challenger trimarans by ECI Partners and Sportsmatch as part of the RYA Sailabilty programme for the disabled.
