Axe Yacht Club's Open Day - Saturday 21st May
Published 01:00 on 18 May 2022
The Clubhouse will be open from 09:30 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 to try dinghy sailing (see below):
Dinghy Tasters
Are you looking for a new way to get outdoors and active, or would you like to find something you can enjoy together with the family? If the answer is yes, Axe Yacht Club is inviting you and your family to come and try dinghy sailing for free on Saturday 21 May 2022. Whether you're completely new to the sport or looking to get back on the water, RYA Discover Sailing is the perfect time to give it a go.
If you or your family* would like to try sailing, our experienced dinghy sailors will be offering 30 min sailing experiences from 09:30am to 16:00pm.. If the weather is nice 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.
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 newly refurbished Changing Rooms.
To get started let us know you are interested by emailing Carol on events@axeyachtclub.co.uk or download the booking form below and send the completed form to Carol by email.
