Dinghy Evolution: From Planks to Plastics A Visual Journey

Join us for a fascinating evening as local dinghy racer and Open University presenter Ben Oakley takes us on a fast-paced, picture-led voyage through 60+ years of dinghy development. From handcrafted wooden hulls of the 1940s to the sleek, high-tech designs of the modern era, this is the story of how innovation, design trends, and social change have shaped the boats we sail today.

Packed with striking images and insightful commentary, Ben's talk will entertain, inform, and leave you seeing your dinghy in a whole new light.

Followed by supper of; Spanish chicken & seasonal vegetables, strawberries & cream pavlova.
