Shoreham Sailing Club (SSC) is situated on the western bank of the River Adur (Sketch map) with boats launched and recovered from our slipway into the harbour.

The club is primarily a racing club though persons not wishing to race are also welcome. We run a racing programme from March to November/December, weather permitting. Class and handicap racing is held either in the river/harbour, or more usually out to sea. There is Sunday morning racing throughout the season and Wednesday evening racing during the summer months. The club frequently hosts weekend open meetings for a variety of fleets.

We provide basic training for members in using the club support boats, radios and how to be a race officer - see the Training Noticeboard for details. We do not have formal, beginner/junior, in club training,  but we do offer tailored RYA ‘Learn to Race’ courses via Sussex Yacht Club (details from www.rya.org.uk) to suit members new to racing or those who wish to hone their skills under the guidance of qualified RYA Dinghy Instructors. Contact our Training Co-ordinator Kevin Headon ssctraining1@gmail.com for details. There is also cadet sailing/racing on selected Saturdays during the summer months.

The club has a sizeable grassed boat park where members are able to store their boats all year round. The clubhouse offers changing rooms and showers which are currently - Winter 2010 - being refurbished. On race days the galley serving light lunches and snacks, a bar and a large function room are available. Additional social activities are organised throughout the year.

We encourage all our members to participate in the running of the club in a variety of roles depending on experience and training. This includes safety boat crew, race officer, work parties and assisting during open meeting weekends.
