Sutton Bingham Sailing Club, over at Sutton Bingham Reservoir near Yeovil in Somerset, is run by a great bunch led by Commodore Nigel Leveridge. They’re an RYA training centre, so whether you’re just starting or wanting to sharpen your skills, they've got you covered.
For those who love a bit of competition, they've got plenty of racing action. If you're younger, there’s a cracking youth sailing programme. And if you prefer a more laid-back sail, there’s loads of space for you to enjoy the water at your own pace. They regularly run RYA courses too, perfect for boosting your confidence.
Members can sail on the reservoir or join the cruising group for coastal adventures. It's a top spot for both racing and relaxed cruising.
Key folks include Lou Ploughman-Hart as Secretary, Howard Frear handling Duty Roster, Chris Hutton looking after Training, Chris Bottomley managing Membership, and Wendy Jackson sorting the Galley.
Joining is a breeze, and it’s quite affordable – just £185 for an adult membership with boat storage for the year. They've got some discounts too.
The club's lively, with events and competitions happening all year round to keep everyone engaged. Check out their website or give them a ring at 01935 862933 for more info.
At Sutton Bingham SC, everyone's welcome. Whether you’re just learning or an old hand at sailing, there's something here for you.
