Sailing in England?

[Merrily]

Does anyone know a good place to hire a Laser for a few hours of sailing?
I've just booked my flight. I'll be in England for a couple of weeks beginning Sept 19. We'll have a car for part of the trip and will be in the London area, Essex, and in Liverpool.

Thanks for any suggestions.

Janet/Merrily

This is a great question. I'm studying abroad this fall at the University of Sussex in Brighton, England. I don't think I can go 10 weeks without sailing! I plan to look into the college's sailing club/team, but going on my own would be cool too. So if anyone also knows about the Brighton area, please let me know! I'm headin over Sept 17.

You could try Netley sailing club, located on the east coast of Southampton Water.
Good luck and happy sailing
