Welcome to Blakeney Sailing Club

No matter the weather you will always find a warm welcome at the dinghy park at Blakeney. Do come along and say hello.

We sail in an area of outstanding natural beauty. The harbour is tidal but protected by a spit of land, which leads to Blakeney Point. It is an ideal location for sailing or the added challenge of racing. We also welcome kayaks/canoes and paddle boards.

Are you a seasoned sailor or you are just tempted to have a go? Have you got a boat or would you like help deciding which would most suit your needs? The club has members who have sailed at Blakeney for forty years and some who have only just started.

There is a comprehensive programme of events for members from March to October. In addition, during July/August we have we have mid-week holiday sailing, Fun Week and the annual regatta with a traditional bank start, which are open to non-members.

We do not have a Club House, but there is a dinghy park in which dinghies and kayaks/canoes can be stored and the club hut which is the meeting point for all events. We have two Patrol Boats for safety cover and a Committee Boat anchored in the race area.

The Club is run a committee which are all volunteers, and all members are expected to help out with Race Officer/Patrol Boat duties.

We also hold a number of social events throughout the year including BBQs, Prizegivings, winter pub series etc.

Sam Lulham writes about Easter Series Races 3 & 4:A blue, bright and breezy morning greeted the 11 sailors and 8 boats who made the early start on Sunday morning. Linning up by the slipway there were two Seaflys, a Solo, a Streaker, two Lasers / Ilca ( 1 radial and 1 full) a Phantom and a Mirror Dinghy. Race Officer of the day was Hugh Jones, assisted by Bridget. The first course started at the Cooke posts, heading down the cut and out into the channel where a figure of 8 was sailed – around marks 6,4, Lapwing, 7 and 8.A westerly wind of force 2 – 3 provided the envious Champagne sailing conditions and the course allowed every point of sail to be used. A fantastic reach out of the cut had boats planning up to mark 6. The fleet was led by Roger Beavis in his phantom, closely followed by Alan and Angela in Merlin. Roger chose to stay on the Watch House side, while Alan and Angela decided to tack away and head towards Morston. From this point on Merlin had clear air and sailed off to lead the fleet around the course for 3 laps, crossing the line in just over 47 minutes. A hard-fought battle in the middle of the fleet then evolved before an orderly queue was formed resulting in a great race. Unfortunately, the Mirror had to retire after spinnaker issues resulted in some major re-rigging out on course, but after that they looked to have great fun spectating and sailing in the perfect conditions.A slightly diminished fleet started the second race, by this time the tide had turned. The course started with a beat up to 10, a run to 4, a reach to 8, then another run down to the X mark which was laid instead of sending the boats all the way down to 6. Another great figure of 8 course, giving every boat design equal advantage. This time Alan and Angela gained the lead by the windward mark and led the way. Everyone enjoyed a great run down to 4, Simon and Steve in Summer Breeze having a great time with their spinnaker. Jo Smith in the Streaker was on the tail of Andrew in his Laser, hunting him down. Roger looked to be having a great time in his Phantom but unfortunately missing the line at the start of the second lap resulted in a disqualification. After the race the conditions held for a run back down the Channel, and then a reach back into the cut bringing everyone promptly back to the slipway. A sublime morning on the water for all concerned followed by a post-race de- briefing and chat with coffees and Bacon Butties at Birdy’s Bake House.Photos to follow ... See MoreSee Less

Hugh Jones writes about Easter Series Race 1Saturday provided a pleasant evening for the first race of the Easter series. A late tide gave just enough time for 1 race, starting and finishing in the cut.Seven racers were tempted by the 10-15mph wind and warmer temperatures. It was a Seafly first and second with Alan and Angela prevailing over Simon & Steve, and Andrew in his Laser just beating Jo (guest appearance in Amy's Streaker) for third place. Séan's intrepid Flotilla team gave the racers plenty of room in the cut and even shared their chocolate brownies in the dinghy park later.Thanks to Bridget for being my assistant (the only time I get to tell her what to do) & Terry/Harry in the patrol boat.Photos to follow ...
