Open Meetings

All the scheduled Open Events have taken place and results can be found here  with the exception of the President's Trophy and Llandegfedd Pin which were postponed due to lack of wind. The Pin will now be held at 14:15 on the 3rd August and The President's Trophy starting at 11.oo on the 10th August. 

Details of the completed adult events are available here.

Youth Training 

See the Youth Sailing and Youth Training pages. Club Members can book in via WebCollect. 

Adult Coaching

We have set a number of Sunday mornings aside for Adult Coaching. These align to the junior squad days so that parents can come and sail at the same time and have some support and coaching. The sessions will include a “Relaxed Introduction to Racing” so that they can enter the odd race and not be worried about being in the way or being too incompetent. See the Adult Sailing and improving pages. 

Club Racing

Sailing and not Racing. 

Club members are allowed to sail when the club is not racing. However, the safety cover is through Llandegfedd Activities, not the club. 

For 2025, Llandegfedd Activities have decided that the best way for us to sail when not racing, is to sign on through their booking system as explained in the Membership Guide notes (in the Members area of the website)  or at the booking office on site before you go on the water. 

Before you rig a boat, either your own, or a club one, check that that Watersports is able to support your sailing. There is always someone in their office and they have a list of their activities and the lead Instructor for the day.  They may impose restrictions, such as keeping to one end of the reservoir so they can rescue you if you have difficulties.  You need to say you are a Sailing Club member, and have a berth or are using a club boat. 

They are helpful, just bear in mind that they can be very busy with multiple activities there. There may be a break at lunch time, and the opening hours vary through the year as displayed by the office.

Need a Helm or Crew?

Robert Cone has re-introduced the Crewfinder service. If you want a crew for your boat, or want a helm, contact Robert at crewfinder@llandegfedd.org.uk. He will put you in touch as appropriate so we can have more boats on the water.
