HIRE A DARING
How can I hire a Daring for a weekend of racing?
​
Can I be taught to helm a Daring by an expert?
​
​
How to get involved:

​
4
Pick your weekend of racing
(first come first served for all weekends May through October)
​
5
Fill in the appropriate documentation and pay the fee
(£350 total for two days of racing Sat/Sun, with special rates for Cowes Week and other events. For details, Contact Us)
​

Arrive in Cowes, receive appropriate guidance and then head out to the start line!
(note: we would encourage you and your crew to familiarise yourselves with the Daring under expert guidance before racing - all included in your weekend fees)
NOT CONFIDENT HELMING ON YOUR OWN?
Helming a Daring in a race may be a daunting thought for the inexperienced helm.
If so, why not hire a Daring along with an experienced helm who can get you on/off the mooring, take control in an emergency, but otherwise guide you through your first few races?
​
There is no better (or other!) way to learn than via experience.
