Sailing with us
The club is keen to attract new members, even knowing this it may be a bit daunting to introduce yourself to established members or to book on a sail, so here are some suggestions:
- Just do it! -look at the program ECYC Sailing Schedule choose from a race (essentially a skills honing sail), taster sail or cruise and book
- Email us – see the contact form on the website
You do not have to be a member to sail, but you will have to pay a non-members daily fee, if you are a member of CSSC then you can apply for CSSA for free, you just need to do some paperwork- see the form on website: http://cs-sailing.org.uk/membership/
For the complete beginner- you can use some of the clubs old waterproofs if you have nothing suitable . We provide lifejackets for all the crew, but bring your own non-marking trainers (and dry shoes to go home in), warm layers even in summer, sunglasses, a hat that stays on and sun-cream.
Training – ECYC is a recognised RYA training centre and has RYA approved instructors who can offer practical courses -competent crew, day skipper and coastal skipper courses.
Taster Sails – If you are new to sailing, or have not sailed on a yacht before, why not try one.
