AYC's Open Event - Sunday 2nd June

Published 13:11 on 13 May 2024

The Clubhouse will be open from 10:00 to 14:30 with members on hand to show you around and talk to you about sailing & motor boating at AYC and membership of the Club. Come and see Nobby the Dredger, talk to our Training Team about the RYA qualifications on offer, or just chat with members about the Club. The Social Team will be offering tea, coffee and snacks to keep you refreshed.

AYC supports the RNLI and they will be joining us for the day offering information about their role and water safety advice. They will also be happy to check your life jacket is safe to use for the coming season.

No need to book unless you would like a dinghy taster sail. As part of the RYA Discover Sailing initiative, our experienced dinghy sailors will be offering free 30 min sailing experiences from 10:00am to 14:00pm. 

If the weather is good we will be sailing in the bay on the glorious Jurassic Coast. If it is not so good, we can still get you on the water in the harbour. If you are interested in signing up for a taster sail (minimum age 7years), please download and complete the booking form below:

You don't need any special equipment for a taster sail. Wear something warm, with a wind proof top layer, and shoes that you don't mind getting wet. AYC will provide a buoyancy aid and all the safety advice you need. Afterwards the Clubhouse facilities will be available so you can have a warm shower and change in our Changing Rooms.
