    It's the start of the sailing season - so blow off the cobwebs and come down to the club to get your boat covers off, tidy up your dinghy pen and get out for a sale. 

    We'll have a race at 2:00 followed by coffee and cake in the afternoon.

    If you need a hand with any rigging, or just a friendly face to help check your boat over then just ask - the committee and plenty of experienced sailors will be on site all day to lend a hand.

    We're very excited to be working once again in conjunction with Everyday Lifestyle to offer Stand Up Paddleboard sessions. The sessions will be run by accomplished ASI instructors with many years experience in stand up paddling.

    The lessons are 2 hours long, for a maximum of 6 paddlers (per course) and are suitable for adults (over 16 years) of all abilities. For those not familiar with the lake at Otley, it's an enclosed flat water location that provides a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere full of natural beauty and wildlife.

    Please arrive 15 minutes prior to the lesson starting.

    What equipment do you provide & what do I need to bring?

    You'll need to bring a swimsuit to go under the wetsuit, towel and footwear, either water shoes or old trainers.

    All equipment will be provided - Wetsuits, buoyancy aids, paddles and a range of paddle boards with leash. We have a range of boards O'Shea, Starboard, Red Paddle and STX.

    Is the Improvers course the right course for me?

    If you can both stand up and steer reasonably well then the improvers course would be good for you. Rather than focusing on the basics, the improvers course teaches you how to paddle more effectively so you can go faster or further with less effort and also how to do better turns. On the other hand, if you are not yet confident standing and steering then the beginners course would be best for you.
