Sully Sailing Club

Sully Sailing Club, known for being the premier dinghy sea sailing club in South Wales, is all set to welcome sailors, windsurfers, and canoeists of all levels. Nestled in Sully Bay, near Cardiff, this friendly spot is managed by Chris, who’s thrilled to share the joy of sailing with everyone.

Chris has ensured the Clubhouse is top-notch, accessible, and cosy. While there’s no bar, you’re more than welcome to bring your own drinks for a post-sail relax. The club prides itself on having one of the longest slipways in the Bristol Channel, making it easy to sail at almost any tide.

For those without a boat, no worries! Chris has sorted a variety of club boats - from single-handed Lasers to an Argo for four - available for a small annual fee. And for the competitive spirits, weekly handicap races for all boat types take place every Sunday - a sure way to get your racing fix.

The club doesn’t just stop at dinghy sailing. Chris has organised cruises up and down the channel, with a popular annual trip to Flatholm. Plus, Sully Sailing Club is famed for its wave sailing – some of the best in the UK. If you’re a novice, coaching sessions run mid-May to mid-July, and beginners are always welcome to dive in.

Safety is a biggie at Sully Sailing Club, and Chris puts it front and centre. While there aren’t certificated courses, you’ll get plenty of support from seasoned members. Safety advice is plentiful, ensuring everyone has a fun and secure time on the water.

With a splendid location and Chris’s energetic management, Sully Sailing Club is a perfect spot for sailing enthusiasts in South Wales. Seasoned sailors and newcomers alike will find a friendly and thrilling environment to enjoy the beauty of the Bristol Channel.
