Experience Sailing in the RYA East Region this Summer Season
This summer, the East Coast of the UK is offering an exciting opportunity for individuals to experience the thrill of sailing through the Discover Sailing Events. With over 2,000 RYA (Royal Yachting Association) affiliated clubs and centres across the UK, many of which are based on the East Coast, offering water activities, some venues are running #DiscoverSailing sessions.
One of the key events taking place is the Open/Discover Sailing Day at Walton and Frinton Yacht Club on Saturday 12th July 2025. This free event features opportunities to sail, paddle board, enjoy powerboat tours, and a variety of activities ashore including stalls, BBQ, and a club bar. It aims to introduce visitors to sailing and the club's membership and cadet programs, with no prior booking needed but early arrival recommended.
Other RYA affiliated clubs involved in the summer sessions include Coldham Hall Sailing Club (Norfolk), Horning Sailing Club (Norfolk), Hickling Windsurfing Club (Norfolk), Priory Sailing Club (Bedfordshire), Hunts Sailing Club (Cambridgeshire), Blakeney Sailing Club (Norfolk), Ouse Amateur Sailing Club (Norfolk), and Royal Corinthian Yacht Club (Essex). However, a comprehensive list of all East Coast clubs participating in #DiscoverSailing events is not yet available. For more specific details, consultation of the official RYA website or regional sailing networks may be necessary.
Sailing offers a multitude of benefits. It provides an opportunity to get out in the fresh air, meet new friends, and learn a new skill. Moreover, being in 'blue space' (water environments) has a positive effect on health and mental well-being. Joining a sailing club also allows individuals to give back to the community through volunteering.
Participating in these events is suitable for all ages and abilities. Whether you're a seasoned sailor or a complete beginner, there's a place for you. Some venues are even offering free or low-cost sessions, such as Snettisham Beach Sailing Club.
So, if you're looking for a fun, rewarding, and invigorating activity to try this summer, look no further than the Discover Sailing Events. To find events near you, visit https://www.ourwebsite.org.uk/start-boating/discover-sailing.
