dIngHY SeCTIOn The Club has a thriving and enthusiastic dinghy Section. racing takes place from the main Shoreham club house in the river Adur alongside the new footbridge over slack water at high tide. There is also social sea cruising in Summer. Both club houses have changing room and shower facilities. SYC racing caters for a mixed fleet and club craft are available to charter, There are generally two races during each sailing session lasting approximately half an hour each, with the faster boats completing more laps of the circuit than slower boats in the fleet. Average lap times are calculated using PY handicaps.
YACHT rACIng In addition to the regular racing, we also hold Saturday Pursuit racing. If you wish to try racing, train crew, tune up your own performance or just have a fun sail for an hour or two on a Saturday, then Pursuiting could be for you. You start in order of your handicap number (slowest go first) the courses are short and simple, very suitable for beginners to both racing and crewing.

rACIng And rALLYIng evenTS racing and rallying is at the heart of our club, with pursuit, inshore, long inshore, offshore and regattas tailored to suit our varied SYC fleet. no matter what your level and preference of sailing we have a good mix of competitive and more relaxing racing. We encourage crews at all levels to have a go, and although we don’t give prizes to all comers, accurate ratings and hard work can deliver results. With regards to cruising, SYC organises a varied programme of rallies along and across the channel. The rallies are usually combined with a race, but it is not necessary to participate in the race to join in the rally. Yachts can join in all or part of these rallies to suit your own timetable. Cruising in company is a great way to explore our coast; you can gain valuable experience and discover new friends. COnTACT US FOR mORE dETAILS
