Get on the water with us.


As a Royal Yachting Association (RYA) Training Institution we can take you from complete novice through to competent sailor and onto racing, if you so desire.


All our Instructors are RYA qualified and are enthusiastic club members ready to get you confident to sail. If you want to find out more about the RYA and is courses and progression through these here


Booking takes just a couple of clicks.


Simply click on the WebCollect link (left or above).  There you can select a date, course and even pay on line… and each RYA course gives you three months Club membership.  


All you have to do is turn up and be prepared to have fun.

Situated in the picturesque Severn Valley, between the market towns of Bridgnorth and Bewdley, and within earshot of the Severn Valley Railways, our club sails on South Staffs Water, surrounded by stunning countryside.  And all this within 30 miles of the major conurbations in the West Midlands, Shropshire and Worcestershire, means we are ideally located.


We offer fantastic facilities for all levels of sailing skill: whether you are new to sailing, trying to enhance your existing skills, or an experienced sailor looking for competitive sailing races and events, we have what you need. We sail a range of classes regularly (Laser’s; RS Aero’s; GP14’s; Solo’s) with additional classes catered for in our Racing Style (see Club Racing page).

 

You could just read about us on our website…


but why not come down and find out more, meet our enthusiastic and friendly members face to face, and get on the water, joining our family friendly club?

It is not only Sailing we enjoy on the water…

OWS at Chelmarsh

A stunning piece of water for a swim

(But don’t just take our word for it!)


Take a look at our swim social media here to find out more.


We are proud to be a NOWCA swim venue, which you can read on their website.



SUP at Chelmarsh

Build up core strength with a paddle in our fabulous setting


We offer a range of courses to get you started with Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP), including board hire.


Booking is just as easy as booking an RYA Sailing course.




… and not all our Sailing is in the boat!


Sailing without getting (very) wet


A growing past time at the Club is Radio Controlled Sailing, with enthusiasts both young and old, wanting to sail without putting on a wet suit.

Like minded people meet informally racing their boats from the shore (or even their cars!)


We also have enthusiasts who race… from their armchairs.  We have something for everyone.
