There is a range of sailing available from therapeutic to competitive sailing all within a safe, caring and social environment. The site is easily accessible and all equipment and facilities needed for sailing are provided. So why not come and experience what many have described as 'freedom on the water'.

Silver Medal for Lindsay Burns in World Championships

Lindsay Burns, Paul Phillips and Margaret Foreman have returned from the Hansa World Championships in Hiroshima, Japan, with Lindsay having won the Silver Medal in the fiercely contested 2.3 fleet. Paul secured 13th place in the Liberty fleet with Margaret securing 18th place in the 303 (1 person) fleet.

The sailors were part of the British contingent of eight competitors joining with more than 180 other sailors from 23 countries. The competition lasted over five days with a target of 10 races per fleet - there were four fleets. Some of the sailors sent their boats on ahead in containers; the others chartered boats in Japan.

Congratulations to all the sailors.
