The Club is fortunate to own the beautiful Haversham Lake, the clubhouse and surrounding land. Members are able to sail every day of the year. Dinghy berths are available around the clubhouse and the Club has its own secure car park. Members may use the clubhouse facilities at any time and whether you are an experienced or novice sailor you will receive the same warm welcome. Our Youth and Buccaneers programme is designed specifically for those under 19.

If you are a new or prospective member we look forward to meeting you at the Club. We pride ourselves on being a friendly bunch so please feel free to ask questions about any aspect of membership. Sunday is the best day to find a variety of members to talk to or if you wish to email someone with specific responsibilities please use the Contacts page.

​Sailing is an excellent all year round family sport and pastime providing wonderful opportunities to meet new challenges and work together to learn new skills. We encourage both young and old, novice and expert and men and women to compete together, either singly or in teams.
