Try Sail Day – Come and Experience Dinghy Sailing!

Curious about sailing? Thinking of joining our club? Our Try Sail event is the perfect opportunity to dip your toes (literally!) into the world of dinghy sailing.

Join us for a relaxed and welcoming day where you'll be taken out on the water by one of our experienced club members. Whether you're a complete beginner or just looking to get back into sailing, this is your chance to experience the thrill of sailing on the stunning Severn Estuary.

What to Expect:

  • A short sail with an experienced club member

  • A chance to explore our facilities and meet current members

  • A friendly introduction to the joys of dinghy sailing

What to Bring:

  • Expect to get your feet wet getting in and out of the boats

  • We provide buoyancy aids

  • Bring a change of clothes, or wear a wetsuit if you have one

Please Note: This event is weather dependent. In the event of unsuitable conditions, we may need to postpone or cancel for safety reasons. Please check our website for updates closer to the day.

Warm Up in the Galley:
Our Galley will be open throughout the event, serving hot drinks and tasty snacks – perfect for warming up after your sail.

Whether you're looking for a new hobby, a family activity, or simply a new way to enjoy the outdoors, Try Sail is a great way to see what sailing – and our club – is all about.

We look forward to welcoming you aboard!
