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...

Thank you all for your warm words of encouragement on starting my term as Commodore of Ripon SC.

I am delighted to be able to give back to a club that has helped me grow my sailing ability and to further my ambitions in terms of RYA accreditation. I will be working with the RYA Project #2024 throughout my time as Commodore, gaining valuable insight into race management, mark laying, judging and umpiring – all skills that I hope to be able to bring back to my home club.

Our new committee are already busy and we will be introducing some new ways to let members know what we are up to. Look out for these soon.

In the meantime, I hope you enjoy the icicle series and I look forward to joining you on the water soon!
