Welcome to the Greensforge Sailing Club Website

 

 

Welcome to the Greensforge Sailing Club website, we hope you enjoy exploring it to find out about our Club and then decide to pay us a visit one Sunday; we guarantee you’ll be made to feel very welcome.

The friendly club offers good facilities for all levels of sailors. With only sail powered craft allowed on the reservoir this ensures that the peaceful surroundings are maintained.

The aim of Greensforge Sailing Club is to encourage all types of sailors, not just the racing fanatic but also beginners in this highly rewarding and healthy outdoor activity.

Many think that sailing is a rich person's pastime - this is not true. There are lots of second hand boats to suit every wallet. At the club we also offer 'club' dinghies, which are available for all members to use.

What about racing? Although you do not have to race to enjoy the freedom of sailing, those who do race find it very rewarding. Racing has been compared to chess on water. The rules can be quite complex. However you only need to know a few basic rules in order to join in. At Greensforge you will find the experienced racing members will be very helpful and will encourage all new recruits to join in. You should be warned that it can become quite addictive and extremely rewarding.
