Welcome to Sussex Yacht Club (SYC), the home of sailing in Shoreham-by-Sea. Founded in 1892, SYC is a members' sailing club that offers superb modern facilities and a vibrant sailing community. With our main clubhouse, extensive boatyard, and moorings located on the River Adur, as well as our original clubhouse and locked moorings inside Shoreham Port, we provide a home for yachts and boats of all sizes.
At SYC, we have a strong racing and rallying culture, making us one of the most established yacht clubs in Sussex. Our keen racing and rallying fleets cater to sailors of all levels, from beginners to seasoned competitors. We're also proud to have a dedicated dinghy section where we place particular attention on nurturing youth sailors, as well as a rapidly growing Stand Up Paddleboard (SUP) section and an enthusiastic outrigger canoe club.
For those who enjoy diving, our dive section has its own rigid inflatable boat (RIB) and offers diving opportunities throughout the year. Additionally, we have established Sussex Sailability, a charity that encourages and supports disabled people to start sailing, develop their skills, and gain qualifications.
When you're not on the water, you can relax and enjoy the social aspects of SYC. Our clubhouse features Stow's Restaurant, a popular dining spot that offers delicious food and marvellous views of the river. We also host a variety of social events throughout the year. Members can further enjoy discounted drinks in our Members' Bar.
Membership at SYC is open to everyone, and we invite you to join us. Whether you're an experienced sailor or just starting out, our club offers a welcoming community and a range of activities to suit all interests. From 'on the water' activities to social events, there's always something happening at SYC.
