Have you thought about trying dinghy sailing or getting back into it? If you are wondering what it is like or if you would like to join our club, then this is your chance. Come and experience our hospitality and facilities and get out on the water for a first-hand experience on our lovely inland lake.
Littleton Sailing Club welcomes adults and families to come for a taster sail. Set sail in one of our multi-person training boats, with an experienced club sailor at the helm. Your experienced helm will show you the ropes and even let you take the helm if the weather is suitable.
There are three kinds of taster sails available at our Open Day:
Adult and Family Taster - for individual or pairs of adults or families to sail with an experienced adult helm in a multi-person boat, such as an RS Vision. One ticket is required per person sailing.
Youth Taster - for youths to sail 1:1 with an experienced youth sailor in a junior boat, such as an RS Feva.
Phabsail Taster - for disabled people and people with special needs and their families. (Please contact littletonphabsail@gmail.com for more info and to arrange your taster sail.)
If you decide you'd like to learn to sail, then talk to us about membership options and the Royal Yachting Association training courses that we run at the club.
The club’s open day will run from 11am to 4pm. You are welcome before and after your taster sail slot to enjoy lunch from the galley (did someone say bacon? cake?), beers and prosecco from the bar, and soak up the friendly club atmosphere. You are welcome to bring your own board and stand up paddleboard/windsurf - with your mandatory life jacket and safety leash - on our scenic lake and enjoy the wildlife.
Please arrive promptly for your scheduled slot and bring your ticket confirmation with you – either on your mobile device or printed. Late arrivals cannot be guaranteed to go afloat.
In order to make room for everyone who is interested in trying sailing and experiencing Littleton, taster slots are limited to one per person per season.
