Sailing

Launching from the club slipway, sailing takes place in full view of the clubhouse. Club members will assist in launch and recovery as required. Sailing conditions depend on wind direction, South-Westerly conditions have flatter water but more gusty, North-Easterly favour strong winds but high waves.

Facilities

The club will provide a catered Galley, Bar, Changing facilities, boat parking, optional motorhome parking (see below) and members to help boat launch and recovery throughout the weekend.

Accommodation

There is a good range of options in the area for AirBnB, Premier Inn/Travelodge and hotel accommodation etc. Our meeting is high season so it would be wise to book early.

Motorhomes can be parked on the foreshore (the road to the clubhouse) subject to notifying the club in advance. Look out for more details in due course.
