Our boats
At The BoatShed we have a fleet of boats perfectly suited to sail training for all ages and abilities. We have 3 types of boats: Tackers Optimists, Hansas and Pacers.
We are constantly maintaining and improving our fleet. Safety is our highest priority so our dinghy fleet is supported by our fleet of rescue boats.
Tackers Optimist
Hansa Dinghies
-
Suitable for children aged 7-12yrs. These small, colourful, stable, easy to handle boats are almost indestructible; they are a great boat to introduce younger children to sailing.
-
Designed for all ability sailing, our super-stable and accessible Hansa 203 and 303 boats are great fun and perfect for all ages and stages of sailing. With their sling seats they can take 1 or 2 people. Our C-Crane hoist and joystick steering means that Hansas are accessible even for those with complex physical disabilities.
-
Pacers are a reliable sailing dinghy, used by the majority of sail training centres across the country. Easy to learn in and still exciting to race, Pacers are the perfect boat for teenagers and adults to learn to sail or to advance their skills. Taking 2-3 people, you can have lots of fun with your friends.
