We welcome you and your family

We run training programs, races, social events and workshops in which all members are welcome to participate. The club is open for use every day of the year, and many sailors, kayakers, stand-up paddleboarders and rowboat enthusiasts get out on the water year-round. We hope you will enjoy many wonderful moments on the ocean in the watercraft of your choice, and on land by the seaside.
