Sailing Links

Although the Club members' sailing knowledge is pretty good, we cannot know everything
regarding sailing. For further information about sailing, one useful website to check
is the Royal Yachting Association. This site will also show
information about training, insurance, etc.
Some members have kept very good links with local clubs such as:
–Baltic Wharf
–Bristol Corinthians Yacht Club
–Bristol Sailing Association
–Chew Valley Sailing Club
–Portishead Yatching and Sailing Club
–Thornbury Sailing Club
Alternatively, you can click on
UK sailing index that shows information about clubs, sailing schools, etc.
The Club members use various boats. We have tried to show all the boats in the
photo gallery. However, it has not always been possible. The
class association links, below,
will show also useful information about the various boats at the club:

difficult to list all the magazines. The Sailing Club read the magazines listed below.
However, the list should not be considered as a recommendation.

Buying boat

it is highly recommended to see the boat prior to make an offer. Although in
Ebay for example you can see picture of the boat, the pictures do not show
everything.
