Reviews
"Very nice place to go for walks along the shore good fresh sea air"
"I attended the adult learn to sail classes 4 years ago and never left! The club members are very welcoming and I enjoy taking part in the races."
"Was a great club in its hey day. Used to be very family friendly, with so many different classes. Unfortunately now run by a group of people who possibly dont understand the sport It is a shame to see this club slowly die."
"Don't know a whole lot about yachts only that some luxury yachts (also called superyachts or megayachts) are over 70 metres (230 feet) in length with the longest examples reaching over 150 metres (492 feet), hence only the 4 stars. But other than that the rave that I attended the boathouse was pretty fun."
"Loose stones spreading on to the grass. Annoying wire rope barrier to keep stepping over when unloading windsurfing gear. No new wind protection since removing all the old fences and shrubs."
