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...

A few months ago, none of us thought we would be in the position we are today – words like Endemic, Furlough and COVID were not common in use, and yet today, hardly a news item goes by without a mention of one of them. Regrettably, in light of our Prime Minister’s most recent statement (23rd March), access to the Ripon Sailing Club site has been suspended, as we do our bit to help reduce the spread of COVID-19. I am grateful to each and every member that has reached out to me, and to the committee offering their support – your words are appreciated. We are living in uncertain and unique times – I repeat my last message to members here – family and friendship are at the heart of everything we do, if you need any support in the coming days or weeks ahead, please reach out to me or the committee for assistance. I look forward to welcoming you all back to RSC as soon as reasonably possible.
