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.

13th May 2026Excursion to the Norfolk Broads. Clare, Sue, Alan, Dave, Dave, Edward, Marcus, Simon and Simon hired two half deckers from Hunters Yard at Ludham. They tacked 112 times before stopping for lunch at Malthouse Staithe. The outward journey was not uneventful! After a slow start W21 took the lead from W18, the squall when it came through hit W21 first giving a "little" warning to W18. Even though both boats had been reefed, W21 broached (a dangerous, involuntary turn where a sailboat abruptly rounds up into the wind, often causing severe heeling, loss of steering control, and potentially a knock-down or capsize). Andrew at helm automatically headed up to wind, the mainsail was completely loosened and disaster averted, but not without the involuntary squeal from a member, or two, from the crew. W18 seeing the above took the necessary precautions and just experienced a "slight disturbance", her mainsail was scandalised ( traditional nautical technique used to rapidly reduce the power of a gaff-rigged mainsail, usually in a sudden squall or strong wind. It involves dropping the peak of the gaff and often tricing up the tack to dramatically lessen the sail's surface area.)Both boats moored on the lee bank, using the mud anchor and holding on to the reeds. The time was utilized for coffee, hot chocolate and quick snacks.The squall duly passed and the tacking continued all the way to Malthouse Broad.Comfort breaks and lunch were enjoyed at Malthouse Staith before the return journey commenced. A debate was had regarding whether or not to shake out the reefs. In view of the threatening sky, the decision was deferred. In fact the wind dropped, the reefs where shaken out and paddling or rowing were necessary to get back to Lulham.Edward writes:"What a wonderful way to see and experience of the beauty of the Broads, quietness hearing the bird calls, cookoos, seeing herons, gosling with 2 attentive parents and 2 bitterns. Of course challenging sailing, becalmed (lots of paddling and rowing), nice reaching, plenty of tacking with the wind on the nose, rain, hail and squalls and yes some sun. You name it we got it." ...
