Looking forward to a great 2025
We're looking forward to a great 2025 at Etherow, with exciting plans for the year ahead.
Here are some of the highlights :
Compstall Try Sailing – we’ll be running an event for the local community to come and experience sailing out on the Etherow lake.
Team/Duo Racing – we’ll be organising more team racing this year to mix up our racing calendar.
Sailability – we’re hoping to arrange two Sailability days this year for local charities.
Sunrise to Sunset Race – we’re planning to enter the Leigh & Lowton Sunrise to Sunset race in June. We need lots of helms and crews for the circa 15 hour race.
Coniston Sailing Trip – building on the success of the trip last year, we’re arranging another club trip to Coniston for a weekend of sailing.
Carsington Trips – we’re hoping to arrange another couple of club trips to Carsington water where our members can get some experience on a bigger lake than what we’re used to at Etherow.
Quiz Nights – our monthly quiz nights are always well attended and will continue throughout 2025.
Our usual Sunday/Thursday racing will of course continue as usual, along with our Sunday morning development/free sailing.
We’re already getting lots of enquiries from new members and we’re looking forward to welcoming them to the club. We will be announcing dates for the RYA Level 1 and 2 as well as Powerboat Level 2 courses soon.
RYA Green Club of the Year
Etherow Country Park Sailing Club has clinched the RYA Green Club of the Year award 2024. The announcement was made at the annual Dinghy Show and was presented by Steve Bruce (right), Managing Director of ePropulsion to ECPSC Commodore Mike Hollingworth (centre) and Vice Commodore Dave Burley (left). The club has won an ePropulsion outboard for our safety boat.
The award was made because the club overcame vandalism setbacks in 2021 losing supplies of water and electricity but turning adversity into opportunity. We embraced eco-friendly measures like rainwater harvesting, upgraded to LED lighting, recycled more waste, refurbished boats rather than scrapping them, and pursue ongoing environmental improvements and initiatives.

This is probably the easiest place to launch a dinghy in the North West. One of very few clubs where you can step straight from solid ground into a boat, staying dry,
Etherow is a friendly club and we welcome everyone: from those who never have put their foot in a dinghy, to Olympic team coach.
Membership is affordable and we have some club boats that can be used, for a nominal charge, during the early stages. There are boats for sale within the club usually and elsewhere for very little money.
