Welcome to Ripon SC

A warm welcome awaits you at Ripon SC, whether you are a seasoned club racer, or a complete novice.

The family friendly nature of the club, and our success in developing junior and youth sailors is recognised by our British Youth Sailing ‘Recognised Club’ status. Club members are able to enjoy access to the facilities 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and there’s a packed programme of on and off the water activities. Racing takes place on Wednesday afternoons and evenings throughout the summer, and on Sundays all year round. We are also an RYA Teaching Establishment, and offers a wide range of dinghy and powerboat related courses to our members.

Learn to Sail at RSC

At Ripon Sailing Club we offer you a quick, easy and safe way to learn to sail. We provide a range of courses to help you progress and make the most of your time afloat, whatever your age, ability or aspirations. We are a recognised RYA training establishment and the courses are taken by fully qualified RYA instructors who are volunteers. Our courses are for members only and run throughout the summer, with the final programmes of the year in September. Dates are published on the calendar and bookings are can be made for each course once the event is ‘open to book’.

A Few Words from the Commodore...

The first week of the Frostbite series saw two new boats taking to the water with Mike launching his new Streaker and Tom launching his new Topper. I hear there was also a rather nice new Streaker sail out on the water too! Exciting times.

It’s soon going to be Christmas and it’s a great chance to remind you of our events in the run up to the festivities. The Children’s Christmas Party will take place on 8 December and our Christmas Lunch will take place after sailing on Sunday 16 December. Book on line and come along and make the most of these super events!

Finally don’t forget our splicing evening on 23 November – a chance to get thoroughly knotted up aided and abetted by rope guru Ian Turnbull – see you there!
