New Dinghy Park:

Most of you will have noticed the building works going on the North Walk. This is nearing completion and will provide extra spaces for about 30 dinghies. We have been promised that we will be able to make use of the area on May 10th/11th when up to 150 lasers will arrive for their World Qualifier event. Local members can start occupying spaces from May 12th onwards.

We hope this extra space will result in a large increase in dinghy sailing in Tenby.
