"Sailing for All" - Join us for a sailing experience like no other!
Ripon Sailing Club is a friendly and inclusive club, open to seasoned racers and novices alike. Our success in developing junior and youth sailors has earned us the status of a British Youth Sailing 'Recognised Club'. Our members have access to the facilities 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and there is a wide range of activities both on and off the water to enjoy.
Racing takes place on Wednesday afternoons and evenings during the summer months and on Sundays throughout the year. As an RYA Teaching Establishment, we offer a range of dinghy and powerboat related courses to our members, providing a quick, easy and safe way to learn to sail. Our courses are taken by fully qualified RYA instructors who are volunteers, and are only available to club members.
