Learn to sail at Chelmarsh

Situated in the picturesque Severn Valley, between the market towns of Bridgnorth and Bewdley, and within earshot of the Severn Valley Railways, our club sails on South Staffs Water, surrounded by stunning countryside.  And all this within 30 miles of the major conurbations in the West Midlands, Shropshire and Worcestershire, means we are ideally located.


We offer fantastic facilities for all levels of sailing skill: whether you are new to sailing, trying to enhance your existing skills, or an experienced sailor looking for competitive sailing races and events, we have what you need. We sail a range of classes regularly (Laser’s; RS Aero’s; GP14’s; Solo’s) with additional classes catered for in our Racing Style (see Club Racing page).

 

You could just read about us on our website…


but why not come down and find out more, meet our enthusiastic and friendly members face to face, and get on the water, joining our family friendly club?

… and not all our sailing is in the boat!

Sailing without getting (very) wet


A growing past time at the Club is Radio Controlled Sailing, with enthusiasts both young and old, wanting to sail without putting on a wet suit.

Like minded people meet informally racing their boats from the shore (or even their cars!)


We also have enthusiasts who race… from their armchairs.  We have something for everyone.
