Littleton has a brand new fleet of Picos for hire at only £75 for a 3 month period. This makes Pico hire affordable to nearly everybody. This proves that sailing doesn't have to be expensive!

The laser Pico is a beginners to improvers boat with a high boom and self draining cockpit. Built out of Tecrothene 109 thermo plastic construction that provides high structural uniformity and consistency, immense stiffness and exceptional impact strength, you won't be able to break it easily. Buoyancy is built in. The mast is 2 piece aluminium and has a click on kicker. The rudder and centre board are easy to lift, and the centreboard has a shock absorber. Sail area can be reduced by reefing.

The club owns 7 Enterprise dinghies which are available to members on an extended loan - particularly to members who have not yet got around to buying a boat or who have a single hander which is not suitable for family outings. They may be used for club racing as well as for cruising. The loan period is 3 months. There is a maintenance / insurance charge of £50 plus a returnable deposit of £50. These boats are used for some training courses and will not be available on course days. Borrowers must hold a RYA Level 2 certificate or be of a similar standard.
