New Sander with dust extraction now available to members

Published 23:32 on 13 Nov 2025

As an RYA affiliated Sailing Club it is our wish to reduce pollution and prevent antifoul scrapings from entering the river Exe. To further this aim we have purchased a dry Sander with a vacuum dust extractor. This will be available to all members free of charge, although there is a small cost for purchasing sanding disks. The Rear Commodore Richard Babbage has mastered the device and is offering familiarisation sessions to those interested in learning how to use it. More information is available on the facilities page here:

To make use of this Sander after appropriate training you will need to book a slot (or several slots) on the club Booking page here:
