About this club

Overy Staithe Sailing Club is a dinghy sailing and racing club sailing mainly in the tidal creeks and harbour around the River Burn. The club has confirmed it does not offer sail training and that the tidal harbour is not suitable for complete novices turning up to sail.

Start

Can a beginner start here?

Dinghy sailing, cruising and racing in tidal creeks and harbour waters; not a public learn-to-sail venue for complete beginners.

Beginner
The club has confirmed that Overy Staithe harbour is tidal, with strong tides, and is not suitable for complete novices turning up to sail. Treat this as a member sailing and racing club rather than a public learn-to-sail venue for complete beginners.
Training
The club has confirmed it does not offer sail training. Faire Sailing is a separate private company at Overy. Club RYA powerboat training is member-only and for safety boat duties, not public sailing tuition.
Taster· Unclear
No current public taster-session or open-day offer has been confirmed. Do not treat older AGM references as current availability.
