The Graduate Dinghy or 'Grad' as it affectionately
known, is a 12' sailing dinghy designed for two people. The class
association is responsible for supporting Graduate owners by providing
technical advice, building a community in which sailors can share their
experiences and promote both class and handicap racing events.

The
association also manage the rules which define the Graduate Dinghy, and
are proud to be promoting new innovations and developments that will
ensure the class is successful for many years to come.

The Grad is
especially loved for it's superb upwind performance, giving many faster
boats a run for their money; this has been further enhanced by the
recent development of a new larger sail plan. The larger sail fits to
existing spars, increasing performance downwind and improving gust
response upwind. The new sail coupled with our new boat builder has
created a real 'buzz' around the boat park, adding momentum to the
revival of the class, building strong foundations for its future. This
is reflected in the ever increasing attendance at the class national
championships.
