dinghy hire

DOSC has a number of sailing vessels and paddle boards  that can be hired in two-hour slots. Hire of these vessels is exclusive to RYA Dinghy Level 2 or RYA Youth Stage 3 certificate holders for single handed dinghies and RYA Dinghy Level 3 certificate or RYA Youth Stage 4 holders for RS Ventures.

For sailors who do not hold these certificates, an assessment can be arranged with a DOSC instructor in order to prove competence. Upon successful completion of the assessment, a RYA Dinghy Level 2 certificate will be awarded. Click here to arrange an assessment.

DOSC members can hire a boat at any time, while hire for visitors is limited to weekdays only, from Monday to Friday.
