Staunton Harold Sailing Club is a
friendly club situated in Derbyshire on an open water with
attractive surroundings. We have a modern and comfortable
clubhouse. Sailing is available all year round with a comprehensive
training programme. We also have an active youth and junior fleet
and a full social programme.
Currently the club has approximately 800 members, with ages
from five to over 70 participating in very active racing
and cruising sections. The racing is on
Sundays, Saturdays and Wednesday evenings in the Spring,
Summer and Autumn, and most Sundays during the Winter. Members
can cruise any time so long as there is a safety boat on
the water, with Thursday and Friday nights reserved
exclusively for them. The club also holds open
meetings annually for Fireballs, Lasers,
RS200s, Scorpions, GP14s, Enterprises, Comets, Optimists,
and Toppers.
The club has been a Volvo Youth Sailing RYA Champion Club
for some time, and as such has a very active and
enviable comprehensive training school with a good number
of RYA trained instructors drawn from within the
membership.Sailing courses include RYA Levels 1 and 2 (both
adult and youth) for members and non-members,
refresher days, learning to race days, and 'taster' days
for non members keen to give sailing a try. Powerboat courses
include RYA Levels 1 and 2 certification, and safety boat
certification.
