This year we decided to enter the Walton and Frinton dinghy regatta sailing 3 up in our Wayfarer dinghy. We will cut straight to the chase, we had a fantastic time. Easily the most welcoming and friendly club we have been to in a very long time so join us for day 1 and race 1, as we try and find our way around the Backwaters in Essex.

61 boats made up the bumper entry to this year's Walton and Frinton Yacht Club Dinghy Week with five days of competitive racing taking place in the extremely picturesque Walton Backwaters.

It is with great sadness that I write the following, having received the news that John Apthorp died in his sleep on 10th July.

There is now a TV in the club bar and this will show dinghy races live during the race.

Walton and Frinton Yacht Club training centre would like to raise funds to be able to provide part and fully funded courses for disadvantaged children in our local area.
