Mudlark
Squib Hire
The Squib Mudlark number 222 is available for hire. She has been recommissioned after a period ashore and is now ready to sail socially or compete in Saturday afternoon or Wednesday evening racing.
During her first outing, she proved to be light on the helm and easy to handle. If you are looking to move up from dingy sailing or downsize from a larger boat this might be the boat for you, a helm and 1 crew member is all you need.
The Squib is the cheapest way to get into keelboat racing, a competitive boat for club racing can be purchased for around £1500. There is a large national fleet which has seen up to 100 boats on the line at the national meeting.
Why not come and try her, she might be exactly what you are looking for.
