What the association does for you, and some reasons why you should join if you sail a Hornet …
Without a strong and active class association a class dinghy would have but a short lived life. The Hornet has thrived as a class over the last 70 years because an active class association has been working hard behind the scenes to maintain the class and boat as a whole.
Aims and activities of the class association:
- Promotion of the class to the public
- Encourages class development at a sensible pace
- Works to maintain residual boat value / prices, and maintain a secondhand boat list
- Organises the National & European championships
- Coordinates various Open Meetings
- Keeping members informed about the Association’s activities
- Ensuring Class presence at the Dinghy Exhibition
- Produces this website and other social mediums
- Sends class newsletter “Mainsheet” and regular class bulletins
- Maintains a class boat for trial sails
