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.

20th July 2024Late Summer SeriesRace Officer Marcus Flint writes:On what has probably been only the second truly summer’s day for North Norfolk, four crews managed to prize themselves away from the drinks parties and BBQs and turn up yesterday evening for the fifth of the Late Summer Series races. Flags were drooping, on arrival, and lazy burgees showed that the wind could be coming from just about any point. After half an hour of ‘umming and ahhing’ it was decided to get our money’s worth out of the patrol boat crew and with wind showing a slight preference for NE-N-NW direction a course was set from the Cut. With the Blakeney Lido in full swing, it was not sensible to try for a Sim Post start, so the boats pumped or dragged their way to Cooke Posts for a simple out and back circuit: 4S-6S-9P-8P-5S and home. The current was strong and the wind light so all four boats hugged the East bank on the start line, crews launching themselves into the boats on the gun, some with a surreptitious shove to get things moving. Fortunately, the wind was slightly stronger out in the pit and they made a race of it. The unashamedly singlehander/asymmetric course - the bias of the Race Officer Marcus F – favoured Roger B who came back a full 10 minutes ahead of the rest some 47 minutes later, although it may not have been enough to give him first on handicap. A close finished followed between Simon H and Alan C in their Seafly ‘Zippidee’ and Andrew ‘Scumbag’ B in his Laser – the latter finally edging ahead through the moored boats out of the tide to pip the other by a few seconds at the post. ‘Scumbag’ you understand, not because of his underhand tactics (😊) but because on his final run in, he’d lee-bowed the current where the Glaven was washing out a load of muck and foam, and he had it had plastered on the side of his boat. Somehow the ‘Teflon’ doctors had avoided this. By now the ebb was flowing out fast and Dave F and Sue G brought up the rear in their Seafly ‘Spider’, struggling to get back in without some motorised assistance (well we had to make the patrol boat do some work). However, they had the consolation of making it first back to the slipway to pack up. So, another lovely evening at Blakeney and, as always, worth getting on the water despite little breeze. And, as a bonus, there was still time enough to get back to that BBQ or drinks party anyway. Thanks to Terry, Dylan and John Myers for their assistance ... See MoreSee Less
