About Us
We are an active club both on and off the water, with a comprehensive sailing programme offering something for sailors of all ages, abilities, interests and a healthy social scene for friends and families.
We run competitive racing for mixed-fleet dinghies, sports boats and yachts from April until September. But it is not all about racing: the club hosts regular cruises and fun sails for those who prefer to take their time and enjoy some company on the sea.
Our licensed bar, with a balcony overlooking the beautiful Chapel and Carrick bays, is the hub of our year-round social programme and the perfect place to enjoy a drink after a day's sailing. We may be a yacht club in name but our welcome and membership extends to all who enjoy water sports. Whether it be on RIBs, powerboats, kayaks or sailboards, all are assured of a warm welcome. If you'd like to know more, just get in touch using the website Contact form and we'll do everything we can to get you out on the water
