WHERE TO START

You can find out when and where the club sails by either contacting the club secretary, using the 'Contacts' section or by looking at the 'Calendar' section of this site. It is worthwhile trying out a range of yachts before deciding on a class. A second hand boat is a good start, as it is often well tuned and the gear sorted. Racing it will allow you to see the latest designs in action and you will be better informed about your preferred boat. The method by which you are going to acquire your new boat will help in the selection of a design. Whether you are going to build it totally yourself or with parts from selected suppliers, build from a kit or purchase a boat in various stages of completion to suit your budget and/or construction skills will determine your choice. For all the MYA recognised classes there are plans, specialist parts, fittings, kits and complete boats from several sources from which to choose, see the 'Links' Section for a list of suppliers.
