Looking for a place to sail? Check out Rossendale Valley Sailing Club (RVSC) in Clowbridge, Burnley. Led by passionate members, this club welcomes all sailors, from newbies to pros. They’ve got a modern clubhouse built in 2002, perfect for relaxing after a day on the water, and they’re recognised by the Royal Yachting Association (RYA) for training.
Rossendale Valley Sailing Club has a range of membership options starting at just £12 per month, catering for adults, seniors, students, juniors, and families. Thanks to its high location, the club gets strong winds and flat water, making it ideal for both sailing and windsurfing.
There's a full racing programme that’s fun and relaxed, encouraging everyone to get involved and improve their skills. Need a boat? The club has you covered with plenty of boats and windsurfers available for hire.
With a friendly atmosphere boosted by grants from Sport England and the Lottery Fund, social sailing events happen year-round, making it easy to meet other members. For the kids, the Ops N Tops sailing club runs in summer, letting young sailors practise under watchful eyes while parents can join in too.
Another big plus is their place in the RYA OnBoard scheme, offering even more fun for junior sailors. You can learn more by visiting RVSC on weekends or checking out their website, which has loads of info and the option to ask questions directly. Whether you’re into dinghy sailing, windsurfing, or powerboat training, Rossendale Valley Sailing Club has something for everyone to enjoy. Pop down and see what they’re all about!
