Other Classes

In addition to the 4 main fleets, several other classes are sailed at Midland Sailing Club. We welcome any monohull dinghy with a Portsmouth Yardstick of between 982 and 1155. The Club’s policy of running all our races on a pursuit basis (with slower boats starting earlier) gives every class of boat the opportunity to compete with the others.

Classes sailed at Midland include:
