About
Toddbrook Sailing Club, located in High Peak, United Kingdom, continues to be an active hub for sailing enthusiasts despite ongoing repairs at Toddbrook Reservoir. Tony, the organiser, wants to remind the sports community that the club remains vibrant and operational, hosting various sailing events and activities while temporarily based at Errwood and Combs Sailing Club.
Currently, Toddbrook Sailing Club offers a range of activities including racing, training, paddleboarding, and social events. Whether you are a seasoned sailor or a beginner, there are opportunities for everyone to get involved.
One of the key offerings of the club is its comprehensive sailing event calendar, organised in collaboration with Errwood and Combs Sailing Club. These events provide club members with excellent chances to showcase their skills and compete with other sailors in the region.
For those interested in learning to sail or enhancing their abilities, Toddbrook runs an active training programme. Recognised as an RYA training centre, the club has qualified volunteer members leading the courses. While the club offers a limited number of courses each year, these are focused on imparting valuable sailing knowledge and creating a welcoming environment for new members.
A popular feature of the club is the Friday Night Juniors programme, which is currently full but encourages juniors to register their interest for future openings. For adults, the club plans to offer beginners' training courses, RYA Level 1 and 2, as COVID restrictions ease, making these available in the upcoming season.
In addition to sailing courses, Toddbrook Sailing Club provides Powerboat and Safety Boat courses exclusively for its members, equipping them with essential skills for safe powerboat operation.
To further their members' expertise, the club offers a Day Skipper course focusing on navigation and coastal theory, ideal for those wishing to explore yacht sailing or dinghy cruising further afield.
Moreover, Toddbrook organises RYA First Aid courses. These are designed both for members pursuing the RYA instructor pathway and those interested in gaining basic marine first aid knowledge.
Tony encourages everyone to stay updated on club activities and upcoming events by visiting the club's website or joining the mailing list. Toddbrook Sailing Club welcomes all who are keen on sailing to join their vibrant community and experience the joy of sailing in the heart of Whaley Bridge.
