Welcome to Weymouth Sailing Club

Set in one of the best sailing areas in the world, the renowned Weymouth Bay is home of the National Sailing Academy and host of the 2012 Olympics. Enjoy social events throughout the year in our restaurant, bar and open deck area overlooking Weymouth Harbour within the beautiful and historic setting of the Jurassic Coast.

Weymouth Sailing Club is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (Charity No. 1178619).  The objective of the CIO is to promote and facilitate community participation in healthy recreation by providing facilities for sailing to those resident in the local and greater Weymouth area and surrounding regions.  The club is based on members volunteering to run the club and facilities.  From dinghy and IRC keelboat racing to flotilla cruising and training, Weymouth Sailing Club offers a great inclusive experience for all.

Everyone is welcome to join as a member from individuals through to family memberships.

    Back to Back for some

    Thursday 3rd July witnessed race 5 & 6 in the keelboat programme, race 5 for the Squib's and race 6 for the dinghy fleet. With temperature's on land over 20 degrees, out on the water was the place to be. The keelboat programme called for two races back to back and so a busy night for the race team ensued. With the wind flicking around either side of the Nothe, depending on where Viking was moored you either had

    50 years on

    Thanks to Chris Olding for the kind loan of the original handbooks, and to Steve HB for putting them online, members can now look back in some detail at what the Club was doing in 1975, and, for comparison, 1965 and 1985 as well. It is interesting to see what has changed - but also what hasn't! The handbooks can be read at history.wsc.org.uk. Steve Fraser

    Cherbourg this way!

    With the Cherbourg Solstice rally not far off, here are some memories of navigating in the Channel. My photo shows the chart which has, until recently, been on my various chart tables over the years, since my first singlehanded crossing in my Achilles 24 Dove II in 2001. Plotting hourly positions from a handheld GPS was already less of a luxury by then, compared with the approximation of earlier methods, and the chart was soon filled up

    Lark open 21st 22nd June

    Winners are grinners..... after a great weekend of Lark sailing. Although they didn't make it onto the podium, our Youth Squad battled some really challenging conditions, never gave up (unless forced to by gear failure) and sailed really competitively in every race. Well done all of you

    Three generations in the Club!

    There are not many of us who have had three generations of family members in the Club, and it is rare indeed to have three at once! I spotted these assorted Shuttleworths on the slipway recently, demonstrating that sailing is fun for all ages! Steve Fraser
