Opening Hours

The club is open on Friday and Saturday evenings from 7 pm during the winter months.

Sailing

Sailing starts this month. The first race, a non points practice race, is at 11 am on March 31. All welcome; take this opportunity to get on the water, sort out the early season gremlins and steal a march on your competitors.

Junior Training

Junior training sessions will again be run on Wednesday evenings from April to September. The first two sessions, April 10 and 17, will be for registration from 6 pm. Parents/guardians are required to attend to sign forms etc. On the water sailing commences on Wednesday, April 24. Please turn up at 5 pm. Normally there will be a briefing at 5.30 pm, with boats on the water by 5.45 pm. Boats usually return to shore around 7.15 pm. BBQ afterwards. Parents can all join in.

All those who came last year are welcome to register, but there will be an opportunity for newcomers to come and try out the sport. The club owns a large number of dinghies suitable for use by beginners right through to experts.

Tenby Sailing Club is an RYA training centre and youngsters will be able to progress through the various youth stages, gaining certificates on the way.

If you would like further information, please ring Blake Shaw on 07717 842713.

Adult Training

Our adult training starts with a 'Come and Try' weekend on May 17/18/19. This is free to members and non-members and is a great chance for those who want to try the sport to have a go on the water, to see if it is for them. For those unable to attend the whole weekend, a one-day session is possible. Following the Come and Try weekend, those keen to continue the sport will be able to arrange further sessions on Saturday afternoons throughout the season.

This coincides with the RYA 'Push the Boat Out' initiative, a national weekend of sailing, with open days taking place across the country. Sailing clubs across the country will hold open days for those who live locally to come and 'have a go' at sailing with a qualified instructor.

Forthcoming events

Tomorrow (Saturday): The club will be open for the deciding matches of this year's Six Nations rugby championship. Come down to watch Wales beat England again... hopefully and celebrate with special price Welsh beer! Shown on the big screen, with refreshments available.
