Pacer Dinghy
Keelboat
A Pacer Dinghy is a 3.8 metre sailing boat usually sailed by two or three people. Dinghy sailors must move about the boat constantly to counteract the force of the wind in the sails.
At 7.5 metres in length, the keelboats provides an ideal stable platform for beginners. Bigger in size of that of a Dinghy, the keelboats are capable of exhilarating rides.
Learning to sail in a dinghy is a great way to start. Simple in design; they are easy to setup and are light to handle. A dinghy responds quickly to your movements and sail adjustments, making it easy to see the effects of your actions.
Keelboat sail training puts students and instructors on board together facilitating close instruction and team work. When using all six keelboats, we can accommodate up to 30 students for learn to sail, discover sailing or race training events.
Sailing a dinghy is extremely engaging and exciting.
Keelboat training is an excellent way to ease newcomers into sailing or to complement dinghy programs.
Crews of two or three students sail each Pacer under the close guidance of the instructors in their support craft.
