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 offer a wide range of dinghy and powerboat related courses to our members. For prospective members, we can offer taster sails by prior arrangment.
