The Club

Set in beautiful surroundings overlooking the Rivers Stour and Avon, and adjacent to Christchurch town quay, members enjoy superb views from the Club

The Club has two car parks, modern changing facilities and, subject to availability, dinghy storage spaces and adjacent river moorings.

There is a full summer racing programme from the beginning of April through to late October as well as our winter racing allowing us to race throughout the year. Our Junior section run sessions across the summer or the younger sailors there is an opportunity to join supported races across the seasons.  Popular dinghy classes at Christchurch are Lasers, Finns, Mirrors, Toppers, Wanderers and the Christchurch Scow.

Class 5 is Christchurch Sailing Club's fleet for dinghies with a Portsmouth Yardstick of 1265 or above.  If you have got a Mirror, Gull, Cadet, Torch, Comet, Tideway, Heron, Sailfish or other dinghy with a PY of 1265 or above, why not come and race with us? We race every Saturday and some evenings. To find out more click on Class 5

Cruiser racing takes place across the summer season. There are also regular Rallies organised to various venues including affiliated sailing clubs around the South of England and North France.

The Club organises several events at the clubhouse throughout the year from Food and Wine Parties to the Christmas Dinner Dance.

The club office is open 10-1PM Monday, Wednesday and Friday
