It has very active dinghy and cruising sections both for racing and social activities, as a RYA training establishment it is very keen on developing juniors and youth sailing. The club also hosts a very active radio sailing section on the adjacent millpond. The Club has just started a very popular rowing section using our Celtic Longboat .The clubhouse itself has some of the best views across the harbour.
Through our Safeguarding Policy, we are committed to providing a safe environment for all club members, youths and juniors to enjoy the water activities we facilitate.
