The Enterprise dinghy is a two person, non trapeze, non spinnaker, one design, double chine hull dinghy. Designed by Jack Holt in 1956 on a nearby lake, the boat has been sailing at Silver Wing Sailing Club since the very start. The design has withstood the test of time and the class provides some of the best sailing and racing to be found anywhere. Over 20,000 are registered worldwide. It has exellent qualities both as a cruising and two-person racing boat. Enterprises are also very seaworthy and can be sailed offshore with confidence.

It is a well established class which means that good class racing and open meeting racing is readily available all over the country. The National Enterprise Week usually attracts over a hundred entries. The class is also growing at a rate of approximately one hundred new boat registrations every year.

Enterprises are constructed using a variety of materials. Whilst a large proportion of new boats are glass fibre the club uses conventional all-wooden boats with a simplified internal design/layout.

The club has two Enterprises for members to use.
