Come and see what sailing is all about. Discover the fun of getting afloat and using the wind to move you across the water. Meet the friendly and helpful people who belong to our club and will help you share the fun they get.
Etherow Country Park Sailing club is taking part in the RYA's Discover Sailingt incentive to introduce more people to our fantastic sport on Saturday May 28 from 10.30am - 4pm.
There will be slots available throughout the day. If you want to ask anything, please email enquiries@ecpsc.co.uk.
You should wear garments that you don't mind getting wet (just a precaution), and bring a towel and change of clothes. You should have shoes that you can get wet plus a dry pair. We provide buoyancy aids and there will be safety boat cover on duty throughout the day.
Anyone who fancies a return to sailing is also welcome on the taster day. If you want to go out on your own, that can be arranged, or you might try a double hander with someone who will be there to help you blow away the cobwebs.
