About
John at Durleigh Sailing Club has a note to share with the sports community 🎉
John from Durleigh Sailing Club wants to extend his warmest invitation to everyone in our community. Nestled in Bridgwater, Somerset, Durleigh is all about making dinghy sailing and windsurfing accessible and enjoyable for everyone, whether you're just starting out or have been sailing for years. 🌊
John has been with the club long enough to know its rich history. Originally founded at Hawkridge Reservoir back in 1962, the club moved to its current location at Durleigh Reservoir in 1992, thanks to a generous grant from the Foundation for Sport and the Arts. For those curious, there's a detailed history page on the club’s website.
For the seasoned sailors among us, Durleigh offers various opportunities to get on the water. You don't even need your own boat! They run a year-round race series, so there's always something happening. And if you're new to sailing, you're in luck! Durleigh hosts an RYA training centre offering sailing and powerboat courses. ⛵
Membership is straightforward and affordable. They’ve got packages to suit different preferences, ensuring everyone can make the most of what the club offers. Members get access to a structured racing programme, leisure sailing, and full use of the club's facilities, including the cosy galley and kitchen.
John and the rest of the Durleigh team pride themselves on maintaining a friendly, welcoming space. New faces are always greeted warmly, and you can spot key members in photos on the clubhouse walls, making it easy to know who’s who. They’re always on hand to provide guidance or just a friendly chat.
