Winter Activities
During the winter months some of our members continue sailing at their local clubs and they may be joined by others from clubs that don't organise winter sailing. Then there are those who like to take a break from sailing (or just find the water too cold) so take part in other activities, such as model yacht/laser sailing, skiing, etc. This page brings together a selection of the activities that are going on over the winter with links to relevant websites
Model Yacht/Laser Racing
Stay wrapped up in your warm winter coat, whilst watching the wind shifts across the pond and tweaking your controls to outsail your opponnents. 'Tweakers', you know who you are, tell us where it happens and how others can get involved.
Skiing
No matter whether you are a skier or a boarder, how about a week on the slopes with your fellow Dart sailors? Possible venues could be: Week in January - Val d'Isere Week in February - Arabba Italy on the Dolomites Week in March - three Valleys
