Club Informa on Sheet
Who are we? We are a small, friendly, family based sailing club, always ready to welcome new members. We offer: Racing 52 weeks of the year in a handicap fleet Cruising on the tranquil and unspoilt Rollesby and Ormesby Li le Broads. Help and encouragement for anyone new to sailing or racing.
Recrea onal Sailing Cruise on the third largest of the broads. Rollesby and Ormesby Li le Broads offer quiet recrea onal sailing on 77 hectares of unpolluted water, undisturbed by the bustle of motorboats, which so o en intrude elsewhere. Sail through the gap into Ormesby Li le Broad between July and October. Visit the Eels Foot Inn for a drink or just enjoy po ering about in your boat.
Friendly Racing We are the only club in Norfolk to offer com‐ pe ve racing all year round. The primary classes raced are Wayfarers, Solos and Lasers but there are also regular par cipants in Albacores, Stratos, Enterprises, Mirrors, Phantoms and several other classes.
Racing is handicap based and there are six club series together with six club rega as annually. Combined with Open rega as, the racing is varied and fun.
Increased par cipa on in Winter sees the fleet split into separate Mul sail and Single Hander fleets.
Start Racing We encourage newcomers to join in races and always remember that we were all novices once! There are always plenty of experienced members on hand to offer friendly advice on rules or boat setup. Sunday racing can get compe ve in Winter but in Summer and on Wednesday evenings it is much more about par cipa on than finishing posi on. And should the worst happen a rescue boat is always on hand.
