Dinghy sailing, Dinghy racing, Junior sailing, Waterskiing, Social sailing, Club racing
Beginner
The club says the Camel Estuary setting is suitable for sailors of all skill levels and waterskiing can include learning. However, use of club Fusion dinghies requires sufficient competence, typically RYA Level 3 or equivalent, so a complete adult beginner should contact the club before assuming they can start directly.
Training
Youth Sailing says local children learn to sail to RYA III through CEYS before joining RSWSC youth sailing activities. The sailing page also describes race officer training notes and separate training for committee boat driving and club VHF radios. The waterski page points to SBD2 ski boat driver training locally via Camel Ski School, but does not advertise an adult beginner sailing course run by the club.
Events, open meetings, Youth Sailing dates, Junior Camel Week, and a Shrimper Open Day were found in the 2026 programme, but no clearly advertised beginner taster session or public open day for trying sailing was found.
The club describes itself as family oriented. Full Double membership includes a spouse or partner and children under 18 living at the same address. Youth Sailing provides regular recreational sailing for local children, and Junior Camel Week is held at the beginning of August with dinghy racing and social activities.

Membership prices are listed on the Join page. Published examples include Full Double GBP 418, Full Single GBP 242, Full Single 18-26 GBP 110, Social Double GBP 204, Social Single GBP 120, and 2026 Sponsored Temporary Membership GBP 75. Club Fusion dinghy use suggests a GBP 20 donation per 3-hour session. Sunday lunch is listed as GBP 18, but that is social/food pricing rather than sailing pricing.
Official site describes a Camel Estuary club for sailing and waterskiing, with a clubhouse, changing rooms, showers, pontoons, a 2026 programme and new-member information.
The club has five Fusion dinghies available to sailing members for recreational sailing and racing, booked through the Club Manager, with a suggested GBP 20 donation per 3-hour session. This appears to be member boat use rather than public boat hire, and sailors must be sufficiently competent, typically RYA Level 3 or equivalent.
