Cardiff Yacht Club dinghy section is one of the four sections of Cardiff Yacht Club. In recent years the section has grown from strength to strength (long may this continue), run by a variety dinghy sailors from varied sailing backgrounds, encompassing a variety of boats and experience. The section itself owns four club boats, for the section members to use, consisting of two enterprises and two toppers aswell as a fully equipped safety boat. Within the dinghy compound you will find a variety of boats, old and new, including a Wanderer, a Miracle, a few Enterprises, a GP14, a Laser 4000, an RS200, Larks, and even a Wineglass to name but a few. Over the years the dinghy section has enjoyed a healthy relationship with Cardiff University, whose sailing club enjoy the use of CYC and share the dinghy section compound. Many students now own private dinghies and are members of the dinghy section itself. During the term time various RYA courses are offered to section members and the university Magno, Buzz and Firefly fleet can be seen regularly out on the bay. In the past year CYC dinghy section has paired up with CBYC dinghy section, with which we share the bay, to enjoy joint racing series, enhancing our fleet sizes and halving our resource usage. We sail every Sunday morning, with the first race starting at 10:30 and as the sun stays out longer, every Wednesday evening, first race starting at 18:00.
