Which monohull dinghies will you find in our boat park this year?
The good news is that our fleet is even bigger than you’ve been thinking it is from our website. We have 70 boats - not 62. Yes, we now have fourteen ILCA Lasers, four RS Qubas and three Laser 2000s waiting on the beach. Apologies that with so much new kit arriving this year we didn’t get round to updating the site. We believe we have the largest range of dinghies and catamarans at any holiday company in Europe.
Decisions, decisions…
With so many different boats to whet your appetite - from Optimist though to 49er - all with their different strengths in different conditions: which will you choose to launch? With such a bonanza of choice we thought we might help you decide which to take out
for your sailing adventure each light wind morning or adrenaline filled afternoon. So we got creative and lined the 15 different types of dinghy in beauty pageant style, fully rigged along Vasiliki Beach: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9cF6rDBHlZ4
Who’s dance card will you mark?!
It’s back: RS800!
After a few years without one, due to popular demand, we've reintroduced the RS800 to the fleet. The 800 is the perfect skiff class regardless of your size and weight. Minimal weight and hull drag mean that the rig doesn't have to be enormous to develop awesome speeds. It's a great boat for your first double trapeze monohull experience.
78 crispy new sails
To add to the excitement there are no fewer than 78 crispy new sails on the sail racks this season. 43 are for the monohulls so it’s none of those disappointing baggy sailing holiday sails at Wildwind.
