The GP14 is one of the most widespread dinghies in the UK.  This 14ft dinghy was initially designed with a main and small jib as a comfortable family dinghy.  With it's full rig of mainsail, large genoa jib and spinnaker it is now an exciting racing boat. GP14s are used for all levels of sailing, from training beginners through club racing to competing on the Open Meeting circuit. At 14ft long the GP14 is sailed by people of all ages and even for competitive racing there is a wide tolerance of all-up crew weight,  

The club has an active fleet of GP14’s with a range of boats from a 25 year old wood and fibreglass GP to the latest series II boats. The GP14 is a well-established class that provides good racing at HLSC at all levels and for all ages.
