The dinghy park at East Dorset Sailing Club is home to around 40 small sailing boats that fall into many different classes, suited to many different types of people. It is clearly visible to all who pass by. On Friday night races, Tuesday evening Novice sessions, or Saturday ‘Pirates’ sessions, the dinghy park is often a mass of colour with various sails of boats being rigged in close proximity, in a bid to get to the slipway with only minutes to spare before the start of a race or activity.
The dinghy park is also home to the club’s two support boats ‘Jennie’ and ‘Maggie’, named after the wives of Commodores in place at the relevant time. These boats are there to offer support to groups of sailors during club activities.
