Sailing Club
Welcome to the Cardiff University Sailing Club website!
The Sailing Club is one of the largest, friendliest, and most inclusive clubs in the Athletic Union. We welcome anyone from complete beginners to experienced sailors and aim to run sessions every Wednesday afternoon and weekends weather dependent.
If you want to have a go at sailing, please contact us via our Instagram or contact Laura - bellln@cardiff.ac.uk and we can work out a time for you to have a go.
Team Racing
For the more experienced sailors, we run 3 teams who compete in regular events including BUCS. We also run our own event, the Welsh Dragon. This event will take place on the 16th and 17th November 2024 and we welcome teams from all over the country. For more information about our team racing opportunities, please contact our Team Racing Captain, Ralph Nevile (find his details below).
Yachting
We try and get involved in Yacht sailing and also have opportunities and contacts with Cardiff Bay Yacht Club. We frequently use the yacht club's fleet of 707s for cruising, fleet racing and match racing. This part of the club is rapidly expanding in 2024/25. For more information on yachting, please contact us on our Instagram.
Club Sailing
For those who just fancy a sail, are new to sailing or want something a bit more relaxed, we go out every Wednesday afternoon (weather permitting). If you would like to go for a sail, a weekly sign-up sheet will be sent out, but there's no obligation to go every week. We aim to do a mix of taught sessions where you can learn new skills and free sessions to do whatever you want. For more information about these sessions please contact our Club Sailing Coordinator, Laura Bell or our Club Sailing Secretary, Sophie Temple (find their details below).
Socials
When we are off the water, we also organise weekly socials on Wednesdays with great themes and various fancy-dress nights. This is a great opportunity to meet fellow sailors and offers a mid-week break. For any information about socials, please contact our Social Secretaries Freddie Clayton & James Fairley (find their details below).
For any general enquiries, please either contact our President, Alicia Condie or Vice President, Harry Wood.

We hope to see you all out on the water soon!
