Hey chaps.

My and a friend of mine are planning to do some sailing on the 24th - 26th / 27th May.

Thing is were having trouble finding somewhere where we can just hire a two person dinghy. (think Laser).

Were planning Isle of Wight or South Coast.

Does anyone know anywhere good (and possibly cheap)???

I've tried googling, but I'm having a real hard time finding anything...

Companies like Sunsail rent out boats from Portsmouth, but not sure if they rent smaller ones.

Alton Water - near Ipswich. It's great for both boats and cycle hire.

I race there/ have taught there. True story.

A standard Laser is a singlehander by the way, OP.

Try Poole Harbour. There is a place that does boat hire but I can't find it for some reason.

They have Dart 16's, Laser 2000s and smaller single handers.

Really nice guys, too.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
