    Although social sailing is allowed practically any time on any day, sometimes it's nice to sail when you know other people are about, so you can enjoy the water together, and help each other out of need be.

    A few of us like to think that, weather permitting, we can plan to sail every Saturday between 10 am and 1 pm. We tend to use the Members WhatsApp group to communicate. Join the group and look out for social sailing posts.

    Autumn Dinghy Racing Series.

    Club boats available to hire this series
    ✅ Powerboats on the water  for this series

    Series Dates: Wednesdays in September & October
    We race every Wednesday evening  when conditions are favourable and the spirit is willing.

    Club Boats available from 6:00 PM with help rigging if you need it.

    Start time: 7:00 pm, (but this is subject to variability if other events are taking place.) So people start to turn up at about 5:15 / 5:30.

    How long do we race? Typically we'll either do a 45 minute-ish race

    Is it serious racing? Definately not!
    We're just a bunch of friends who enjoy chasing each other around the cans in our boats. Sure we more or less follow the official racing rules but honestly everyone is very welcome to come and join in - whatever your age, or sailing experience. The more boats we can get out the more fun it is for everyone. We're all more than happy to point newcomers in the right direction.

    Afterwards: coffee & biscuits in the club house while we warm up and debate who actually went the right way around the course. 

    Not Racing? No problem. You're very welcome to continue using the lake. Do have a look at the race board on the Training Room wall to get an idea of our course though, so you dont get tangled up in things. If you want to borrow a club boat or take advantage of the Safety Boat being on the water just put a message us on the WhatsApp group so we can make sure there's someone about to help.

    WhatsApp Racing Group: please join the Racing WhatsApp Group to stay in the loop or email sailing@otley-sailingclub.co.uk
