Power Dinghy Racing Club
Est. 1978
When the Club was formed in 1978 the only organised power dinghy races were the Avon Descent and the Blackwood Classic 250.
The Power Dinghy Racing Club now organises a full year round racing calendar, and events are conducted at locations around Western Australia, including:
Boyup Brook
Northam
Mandurah
Nannup
Bridgetown &
events in the Perth Region.
Although a highly competitive sport, the Club is very much family oriented with several husband/ wife, fathers & sons/daughters and brother/sister teams competing in all events. Social events are also conducted by the Club throughout the year encouraging members, support crews and families to get together, foster the sport ad introduce new members.
Junior dinghy racing members, as young as 14 years, may compete in Club events enabling them to gain several years experience before tackling the more arduous river races, which have a minimum age of 17 years.
