The Sailing Club has recently set up a Sailing School approved by the Royal Yatching Association. There are a number of sailing courses available for both children and adults which range from basic sailing techniques to advanced levels. All courses are conducted by RYA approved instructors who are trained club members.

There are specific areas for launching and landing boats and this must not be carried out elsewhere (unless in an emergency). The Club has a firm policy to ensure minimum disturbance to the wildlife which includes geese, ducks, swans and other bird life.

The Club also has a range of events including various races throughout the year. The main public event is the Open Day which provides an opportunity for the general public to visit the club and see the various boats on and off the water. Members will take visitors out to give them a taste of sailing various types of dinghy. Sailors are free to take up serious racing or just cruise and enjoy getting the most out of their particular boat.

The club encourages family members and particularly the young sailor. Specific activities and races are designed with junior members in mind. Racing takes place on Sundays and on Wednesday evenings during the summer months. Above all SAFETY is the most important thing about the club and everyone must wear the correct buoyancy aid and suitable clothing.

Members are also rotered for rescure boat duty as the Club has more than one safety boat - one of which is called The Stewartby Carrott!
