THE NOTTINGHAM SAILING CLUB
Nottingham Sailing Club is located on the River Trent near West Bridgford and the National Water Sports Centre. We are a small club of about 250 members and pride ourselves on the friendly atmosphere of our Club. New members are always welcome. Members enjoy a variety of racing, cruising, training and social activities.
The Club’s main activity is racing with Saturday and Sunday races from March to October and Thursday evening races from mid-April to late August. There is also a Sunday frostbite series in November and December. The racing season culminates in a traditional Open Meeting on Boxing Day each year.
Adult Training
The Club is a recognised RYA training centre and runs number of courses that introduce complete beginners to the world of dinghy sailing.
Junior Training
The Club actively encourages junior dinghy sailing and runs a specific junior sailing session on Saturday mornings from late April to mid October.
Social Sailing Cruising
Members of the Club can sail their boats at any time during the week. The Club also has organised cruising times on Tuesday evenings during the summer and on the first Sunday afternoon of each month (May – September).
Racing
Club racing takes place on Saturdays and Sundays throughout the season as well as Thursday evenings from mid-April to late August.
Open Meetings
The Club holds a number of Open Meetings each year for our popular boat classes:
Albacore, Comet, Enterprise and ILCA/Laser.
Our racing season culminates in a traditional Open Meeting on Boxing Day.
Socials
We hold a number of social events for members during the year. The Club Regatta takes place in July each year and fills a whole weekend of social activities along with the racing and fun sailing events.
It’s great to be able to go sailing at a club with a slipway and dry landing stages for boat launching and recovery – no wet feet here!
The club members are so friendly and helpful.
Great for spectators as from the river bank you can see all the action close up.
Coming to the sailing club feels like going on holiday every week!
