One thing Wivenhoe Sailing Club takes pride in is its relaxed,
family atmosphere. Add to this a ‘do-it-yourself’ approach
to maintenance and organisation, and the result is a friendly,
local, low-cost club with excellent facilities and a lively sailing
and social programme.
The Club was established in 1925 in a shed on Wivenhoe Quay on the River Colne. Gradual growth, with two changes of head-quarters, has culminated in a splendid new purpose-built building a little further down river. Many members worked hard and made significant financial contributions to achieve this superb result.
Membership now stands at over 300 and includes a flourishing cadet section. In addition to many dinghy and cruiser races, the programme includes a number of pottering days or weekends with the purpose of involving families and young people in ‘fun-without-fear’ sailing activities. Our House & Wines committee works hard to create a wide range of social events throughout winter and summer.
