Welcome to the Sailing section of the Rock Sailing and Water Ski Club website.

The club sailing activities take place within the beautiful Camel Estuary providing a magnificent backdrop for boats of all sizes and with a combination of protected water, sandy beaches, offshore sailing and guaranteed wind (well, most of the time…); you couldn’t want a more varied or challenging sailing venue.

The Club races off PY handicaps throughout the year and there is strong menagerie fleet racing throughout the season. 

The Club also holds various open events over the season, starting with the Laser Open and the Easter Chase Open held over the Easter weekend.

The annual Lark Class Open Meeting is held over the early May Day Bank Holiday weekend.

Junior Camel Week, an event aimed at the under 18’s is held in July once the schools have broken up for the summer holidays. This week whilst having a strong competitive element is designed to provide the children with fun and enjoyment with varied saling and social events organised thoughout the week.

Camel Week, held in August, is the highlight of the sailing year and is one of the largest menagerie regattas outside of Cowes Week.  The event attracts a cross section of classes and abilities and with a combination of Pursuit and Scottish system racing and social events through the week, there is something for everyone.

Two Shrimper events are held each year, and are open events for this locally built class of boat. The first is usually held around the end of June or early July with the second scheduled for September. Both events attract a competitive fleet of club members and visitors.

The club also hosts National Championship events, and any enquiries for this type of event, or open meetings should be directed to the Vice Commodore Sailing.

Take the opportunity of sailing in a spectacular part of the West Country and enjoying a memorable experience that Rock Sailing and Water Ski Club can offer.

We look forward to welcoming you very soon.
