Sailing Clubs
In this section I will be writing articles that, in no particular order, cover the following.
Introduction to Sailing Clubs An explanation of what sailing clubs are, what they're for and the advantages to joining one.
I will overtime try to cover the the different types of clubs, yacht, racing, cruising, community and youth sailing clubs.
Factors to consider when you are trying to pick one and tips for visiting potential clubs and asking the right questions.
I will be writing reviews of various sailing clubs in the UK and around the world and although this won't be in the near future I am hoping to set up a podcast. This will be to interview club members or leaders about the various aspects of club membership and what there plans are for the future. We will be talking about typical activities and events such as races, regattas, social gatherings, training sessions etc.
By exploring the world of sailing clubs, you can gain a deeper understanding of these communities, learn about the benefits they offer, and find resources to choose the right club for you. Or maybe even start your own.
