Dinghy Sailing

The Dinghy Division of the Sailing Section of Hillarys Yacht Club offers enjoyable family and competitive sailing for all ages and experience levels, plus training and coaching, on the clear, clean water off Hillarys.

We sail types of dinghies that suit juniors, teenagers and adults. Generally the minimum age is 7 years old but it is dependent on swimming ability.

Dinghy racing is held on Saturday mornings during the summer sailing season which extends from October to April, with winter racing from June to August. Races range from Club races through to special regattas.

Parents whose children sail are encouraged to participate either by sailing with their children, in another dinghy, or helping out on a support boat during racing or training.

For those just starting out, dinghy training courses are run during school holidays. These classes are small with qualified sailing instructors. The Club has a number of each type of dinghy available for training and racing.

Dinghy Classes

The dinghy classes at Hillarys Yacht Club are either single or two handed, consisting of some of the world’s most popular classes including Optimist, Tasar and Laser.
