Sailing your own boat Many SGBA members have their own boats, pulled up on the beach in the SGBA Dinghy Park, Toast Racks or Canoe Racks, or moored on the river in Dart Harbour Navigation Authority moorings or the Stoke Gabriel Creek Pontoon, or on a trailer in their gardens. The SGBA has facilities to support members using their own boats, and events to bring members together on the water. If you need to borrow a tender to get to your mooring, members can borrow the Whitehill Rowing Skiff, Priceless or one of the Laser Bug dinghies from the Boat House at Mill Point. We also have two motorboats that can be used by members for a modest fee to cover engine fuel.
Facilities	Group sailing
Members can hire a locker in the Club House store room, use the locked fuel store and borrow lifejackets. Members can apply for a dinghy park space from the Dinghy Park Officer.	Many SGBA members have keel boats and get together to sail the river and out to sea, to join them contact the Sailing Secretary.
Motorboat use	Regatta
The SGBA has two motorboats that can be used by members for a modest fee to cover fuel costs. You’ll need to satisfy the Quartermaster that you are proficient on the water, follow the club motorboat rules and book the motorboats online.	Towards the middle of September every year, the SGBA holds its annual regatta. A day of dinghy and rowing racing, the regatta is the culmination of the year's Sunday sailings. The main event is a race up and down the river off Mill Point for the dinghies and keel boats. Everyone can enter in their own boat or a club dinghy (although it is often wise to reserve the dinghy you want to race).
