Welcome to Wivenhoe Sailing Club

Wivenhoe Sailing Club
The Club was founded in 1925 by a small group of local yachtsmen and moved to the current premises in 1994.  The Club has both dinghy and cruiser sailor members in approximately equal numbers. The Club provides social events throughout the year, but especially during the winter months.

Dinghy races take place most Sundays between April and December. There is a variety of dinghy classes sailed at Wivenhoe usually divided into fast and slow handicap. The local Wivenhoe One Design class is also popular and often results in close competition.

The Club is well equipped to enable cruiser sailors to lay-up at the clubhouse and launch using our own slipway. The Club has cruiser moorings for members. Wivenhoe is an excellent location for cruiser sailors, convenient for continental trips and with local east coast estuaries offering both marina facilities and quiet anchorages.
