Dell Quay Sailing Club

National Solo Class Profile

Solo sailing at Dell Quay Sailing Club.

The Solo is Dell Quay’s largest and liveliest fleet, with more than 20 boats in the club and an exciting calendar of racing, training and informal sailing throughout the year. Whether you’re at the front of the fleet or a little further back, you’ll find our racing is friendly yet competitive. Club racing takes place most weekends and we also host one of the best Solo open meetings on the circuit.

The Solo dinghy is one of the most popular single handers in the UK. By choosing the right mast and sail combination, a Solo can be sailed competitively by men and women weighing from 10.5 to 16 stone. They are quick, stable and exciting to sail. Most new boats are made from FRP but wooden and composite boats can be just as competitive. For more information about the Solo dinghy please visit the Solo Association website.

Boats hold their value and there are always good second-hand Solos for sale. If you’re thinking about buying a Solo to sail at Dell Quay, please get in touch so we can help find you the right boat. You’ll get some great advice and support if you need any help.

The Solo fleet at Dell Quay welcomes new members. If you’d like to know more about owning and sailing a Solo at Dell Quay, please get in touch with our class captain Roger Puttock

The DQSC Solo Class Club Boat

The Dell Quay SC Solo Fleet now have a lovely wooden Solo, number 4075, to help continue to promote this strong fleet at DQ.

The 3 main aims of Solo 4075 are:

1. To have a Solo available for potential new members of DQSC who wish to try out a Solo before purchasing one and joining the Club.
   
   
2. To have a Solo available to current members of DQ from other Classes who would like to use her for occasional racing and an introduction in to how lovely these boats are!
   
   
3. To have a spare boat available to the members of the Solo fleet to use when their own boats are either off the water or packed up for travelling Series.
