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...

As we move through October and thoughts turn to winter(?!) race training and our traditional autumn and winter events, I find myself wondering where this year has gone. It doesn’t seem like ten minutes since we started the season off in fab style back in April.

Look out for upcoming changes to the beach between the safety boat hut and the first slip – we are working hard to make sure that this area remains accessible to everyone. Work starts on October 26th and we ask that for this day, if you are on site, please take extra care, as we will have machinery working and moving around.

I look forward to seeing you all at the club over the coming months.
