Every time I have been at Lancing there has always been a large team of helpful people who simply grabbed your boat and carried it up the beach. Then you help the next people come in...

No he means that at a standard beach club you would have to abandon ship before the hull goe`s up the beach & if you are lucky someone will have your tolley ready & thereby saving you the possible scraping of the underside of your hull.

BUT if no one is available to bring your tolley what do you do with the boat?

what do you mean 'land on the beach' i dont like that phrase. Don't people help each other out with trolleys and such like or do all the singlehanders haul their boats up the beach adding gellcoat to the sand/stone mix already found on the beach?

Lancing is a good friendly club, I had lots of fun there and was made to feel very welcome, but you have to land on the beach so if you are the type who doesn't like the bottom of your boat touching the ground then Weirwood or Shoreham.

Lancing sounds like the best bet from your feedback. I seem to remember some on here sail there. Can anyone give me the low down on it?

I did look at shoreham but they seem to want a lot of money because the 300 is wide and if i remember rightly they don't do student membership. . . (may be getting mixed up though)
