The Enterprise class is the biggest  dinghy racing fleet at PYC .
The fleet is active all the year round sailing a couple of hours before high tide on a Sunday, light and weather permitting. During the spring and summer we also race on Saturday and Wednesday. The Sunday racing is divided into four series spring, summer, autumn and frostbite, each series winner is presented, at the annual dinner with cups that go back deep into the history of PYC. As well as overall winners a personal handicap system is run within the series encouraging the rear of the fleet to improve. In the last couple of years we have experimented with a graduates/crews series. Graduates being those recently or currently involved with the clubs sail training program a source of crews and new blood in the Enterprise fleet.

The club is limited by storage space with 24 dinghies garaged underneath the club building and a small space for the overflow on the promenade. Efforts are made to keep boats sailing so turnouts are high  with the record in recent times being 19 and with 28 different helms sailing at least once in a recent series. This is one design racing at its best and ambitious improving crews work their way up through the fleet as they improve.

We have a keen and growing  Laser fleet, with storage for 8 Lasers in the rear compound.  

Members of the club are active participants in the Enterprise association Severnside Series for the Dragon Trophy as well as sending a sizable representation to the National championships.

Sailors from the PYC fleet have gained world and national recognition.
