The Squib Class is the
backbone of West Hoe Sailing Club and although the fleet is relatively
small the boats are very closely matched and enjoy terrific racing.
The local fleet are a
very friendly crowd, enjoying a drink and a meal at the club after
racing, and an excellent and well supported annual Squib Fleet
Dinner every Spring.
In 2012 it will once
again be the turn of West Hoe Sailing Club to host to the Squib South
Coast Championship which will be held over the weekend 8/9
September. With the 2012 national championship being
held at Dartmouth, 2012 should be a vintage year for the WHSC Squib
fleet.

With
eleven Trapper 300's sailing in and around the Port

and three more spread within a short distance to either east or west of
Plymouth's Sound, we have the largest accumulation of the boats outside
the UK's Solent area.
