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...

Family Weekend provided many of you with a chance to ‘chill’ at the club with a wide range of on and off the water activities provided by the organising team – my thanks to them for making this such a successful weekend.

We are now heavily into the season of championships and summer sailing weeks – Ellie is currently at the 420 Nationals in France and we are then looking forward to the Mirror Nationals at Ullswater before she and I head off to the 420 Worlds – Newport RI here we come! Many of you will be going to the RS Games events at WPNSA, always a favourite venue of ours, and others will be taking part in regatta weeks such as Bass Week. Wherever you are fly the flag for Ripon SC proudly and make sure you report back on all the news and results so that we can see the fun everyone is having. Not going away? Make the most of the chance to sneak in some points in the holiday series!
