LASER HIRE

DBSC offers club Lasers for hire to give sailors an opportunity to try racing with us before joining as members, and for participation in the Learn To Race program.

Club Laser hire is only available during organised programs or racing on Saturdays from September to April. The number of boats are limited and first preference is given to new hirers, no more than three times.

In order to hire a club Laser, the sailor must demonstrate previous experience sailing on a single-handed dinghy, or helming on other dinghies or other sailboats.

For safety, we do not hire Lasers to non-members for recreational sailing.
Boats will be allocated at the club's discretion. The club reserves the right to refuse any hire without reasons.
