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...

Our Sailing Forum takes place next Sunday after racing. This is your chance to help shape the sailing programme for 2019 and it’s not just about Sunday racing but about all our sailing activities. All too often this meeting is poorly attended, and members don’t come along and share their views but then tell us that ’we’d have liked more’ or ‘we don’t like’ when the season is underway. By then we’ve set the programme and it’s going to run for the year. Please do come along and share your views, it is YOUR club and we want to offer the on the water activities you want to take part in.

Work on the decking starts on Monday and all members are asked to keep clear of the working area and not to park in the vicinity of the clubhouse whilst the work is taking place.
