About Us

We have a modern and comfortable clubhouse. Sailing is available all year round with a comprehensive training programme. We also have an active youth and junior fleet and sailability opportunities combined with a full social programme. 

Currently the club has approximately 420 members, with ages from five to over 70 participating in very active racing and cruising sections. Racing takes place on Sundays, Saturdays and Wednesday evenings through the Spring, Summer and Autumn, and most Sundays during the Winter. Members can cruise any time so long as there is a safety boat on the water. Friday nights are reserved exclusively for cruising and training; our Friday Night Club. The club also holds open meetings annually for Fireballs, Lasers, Solos, RS200s, Laser2000s, Scorpions, GP14s, Enterprises, Comets, Optimists, and Toppers. Our biannual members fleet championships are great fun and highly competitive.

The club has a very active and enviable comprehensive training school with a good number of RYA trained instructors drawn from within the membership, supported by recognition as a British Youth Sailing Accredited Club.

Sailing courses include RYA Levels 1 and 2 (both adult and youth) , refresher days, learning to race days, and ‘taster’ days for non members keen to give sailing a try. Powerboat courses include RYA Levels 1 and 2 certification, and safety boat certification.
