Come and Enjoy Pennine Sailing Club
What do we do? - What do we sail? - Open Day - Membership - Training
This excellent facility is open to all, so why not come and talk to us about membership or try a test sail of one of the many boats that we sail at the club.
Many members own their own boat, but we also have a number of different boats, suitable for all ages and abilities, that any member can hire daily. Changing facilities, showers, hot and cold food and a bar are all available in the modern clubhouse.
There really is no better way to for you and your family to spend a sunny weekend or relaxing evening after work or school.
