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.

29th September 2026Flotilla sail to CleyWith winds gusting over 20mph from the East, eight boats set forth to Cley with Terry and Ian monitoring our progress from the patrol boat. Six made it to the sluice gate, through we will not mention the detours along the channel to the windmill. It is right to mention the tacking and tacking and tacking involved against the wind but with the flow of the incoming tide; the HIGH tide concealing where the channel ended and the bank began. Yes, some found their way onto the marshes but nobody would mention the abandonment of their boat it was rather a disembarkation and quick push off. The patrol boat proved invaluable again assisting where necessary.Note to self: when getting out at the sluice gate be aware of the DEEP dips in the marsh on the south side!The run back to Blakeney once the high tide had passed enabled the banks to be spotted, and spinnakers to fly. Although the VAST amount of water leaving Blakeney as we reached the slipway proved yet another challenge…….Comments received include:“Thanks for a great outing this morning, especially the duty boat for getting us off the mud! Delicious banana bread” ...

27th September 2026 Marcus B writes:So today was go it alone Race Officer duties, so enrolling my daughter Megan as ARO we reviewed the light wind that forecast building, so make a 2 lap loop course.The course was S, 5P, 3P, 10P, 8P and then 5 again being to starboard on the proposed second leg return to Cookes PostsOn all boats being ready, sadly an immediate postponement as not a breath of wind.After 10 minutes wait we decided to see how professional full size poo sticks racing may occur…..A clean start and some close calm action to get down the cut, and once out the course seemed to provide ok wind, kindly escorted by Terry and Sue in PB1.It was decided after 30mins elapsed time and still on lap one that a single lap would be adequate and shortened course was indicated out on the water.Boats came in slowly against the ebbing tide, with Alan and Angela in Seafly over the line first closely followed by Andrew in Laser full rig.George who must have had some good weetabix this morning brought the Solo in a strong third, with then a gap to the main laser radial hunting pack.The race concluded at a total of just under 100 mins for all taking part, with all finishing and getting most of the way to the boat park with a small help at the end from PB that was very appreciated i am sure. With the batteries gone in the megaphone resorted to using the kazoo!Many thanks to Megan as ARO and Terry and Sue for safely looking after everyone to all get back.Thanks to all that raced this weekend and this closes my 2026 season and look forward to racing in 2027 with you all. ...

26th September 2026Marcus B writes:So after we all rose from darkened beds, the sun rose to give us a pleasant sunny morning with a light 6-7mph wind.New to race officer duties with the much appreciated guidance from Huw Jones we set a course from the Sims posts out with a loop and back to a kayak park finish line.The course set being S, 7, 8, 6, 4, 7, LINE with a start of 7.30am at slack water leading to an ebbing tide.The start was well behaved and gracefully all boats started the line, with some confident spinnakers from seaflys out of the cut. The boats making good headway as could be seen moving on the course back from the boat park finish line.Terry and volunteer Simon escorted the boats round, but with now drama or rescue required.Final boats crossing the line between 50 and 62 minutes making a good time course for the conditionsWe all look forward to racing again tomorrow where i will hopefully put what i have learnt into action againSee you tomorrow for another 7.30am prompt start from the cut sims posts. ...
