Wembley Sailing Club

Wembley Sailing Club was originally set up during the 1950s by a group of amateurs very keen on sailing. At that time and throughout the 60s, sailing and water sports, in general, were having a real moment so a lot of clubs were inaugurated at that time. The club has changed a lot over time, originating as a competitive racing club. Over the last ten years though that has changed and we’ve become much more training-orientated, focused on teaching the skills needed and making sailing a fun option whatever your skill level. Sailing has a history of seeming exclusive for the limited few, so for us we want to get as many people as we can out on the water learning to sail. It’s a very valuable skill, not just in terms of learning a sport and getting exercise, there’s also a lot of problem-solving involved which helps develop skills for the everyday world as well. However, if you just want to race that option is still a core component of our club; we have around 200 members, most of whom love to race so you won’t be short of competitors!
