Aquarius Sailing Club

Aquarius Sailing Club in Hampton, Middlesex, is all about dinghy sailing and making it accessible for everyone, whether you're a seasoned sailor or a complete newbie. Steve, the organiser, is keen on keeping things simple and fun. He's got everything covered to help you get started, from club boats to friendly guidance.

But it’s not just about the sailing - Steve makes sure the social side is buzzing too. With a packed social calendar, there's always something happening, from casual meet-ups to bigger events. Enjoy a drink at the bar on Wednesday evenings or Sunday afternoons and get to know your fellow sailors.

Steve takes safety seriously. The club recently put out a must-watch video on their social media about the dangers of the Thames and how to use throw bags. And with recent high winds, two boats did tip over but were quickly sorted with no fuss.

If you're heading down to the club, especially when the river’s up, Steve suggests bringing along some waterproof footwear. For all the latest updates, the club’s website is regularly updated with news, river conditions, weather forecasts, and more. There’s even a dedicated members' page packed with useful info.

Founded in 1948, Aquarius Sailing Club has a proud history and a welcoming vibe that Steve and the team work hard to maintain. Recent events like the Christmas party and prize-giving ceremony were big hits, with members loving the effort put in by everyone involved.
