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...

Spring is definitely starting to emerge, the early daffodils, snowdrops and crocus have burst threw our front lawn this week and as I look at them through the front window, I can’t help feel that we are moving towards a point where we can be together again on the water at Ripon SC. As we digest the latest guidance from our Government as well as partners at the RYA and Sport England, we are preparing for a return to the water when possible. Look out for updates coming to your inbox soon. In the meantime, the RYA virtual dinghy show is taking place this weekend and members will be able to enjoy a range of exhibits without the cost of travel and accommodation. Not only is there plenty to see at the show, but the Club of the Year will be announced on Saturday at 1300 – tune in to see if RSC can bring home the national award – link in the news section.
