First instructions start on landStarting Out

For most people the thought of all of the equipment and where to get the bigger items required to be on the water, can be a little overwhelming. However, Chelmarsh can hire you the majority of the equipment required, including boats and boards, in order to help get you started on your referred mode of water sport. There are willing and supportive members on hand to help you if you require.  


Details of suppliers of such things as dry suits and other safety equipment can be easily provided by the club. We also have a small selection of equipment that can be borrowed, such as buoyancy aids and some smaller wet suits.


Chelmarsh Sailing Club can offer you comprehensive training courses all to Royal Yachting Association (RYA) standards across a variety of boat types. Since becoming an RYA establishment in 1983, we have provided quality training opportunities for our members and maintained our high standards, as monitored by annual inspections from the RYA.  

We also offer SUP courses run by fully train instructors.


If you want to see more on how to sail, you can watch this short video from the RYA or contact us via Facebook or email.
