Peter B driving Boss 2005Shoreham 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.

There is cadet sailing/racing on selected Saturdays during the summer months. Although we have no formal, in club training, members may apply for funding towards their offspring getting trained to RYA Level 2 at the Adur Watersports Centre or Newhaven and Seaford Sailing Club (Piddinghoe). Talk to Youth Training Officer Jeff McTaggart (RS200 343) for details. Download the Application Form from the Documentation page.

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. 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.
