Racing

Our annual racing event program covers all levels, ages and types of sailing boats. From our Monday Evening Dinghies, weekly fleet coaching and regattas, X-boat and Folkboat one-design racing, Thursday evening keelboats, Friday Junior Racing plus numerous annual Club races and trophies, (plus visiting national and international regattas) there's something for everyone to enjoy.
Naturally, all this racing requires a team of Club volunteers running the racing safety, officiating, mark laying and more.
Our unique learning programme has helped nurture many international and Olympic stars and our coaching team continue to deliver outstanding results.

COMMUNITY YOUTH PROGRAMME

Our unique Wednesday Junior Sailing (WJS) programme has run for over 40 years throughout April to September.  WJS offers 8-17 year olds, members or non-members, the opportunity to learn lifelong skills on and around the water.

Great night last night in particular the junior supper was a huge hit. Lots of great feedback on the lasagna, a good-sized portion, tasted delicious and well presented. Please can you pass on to the chef and his team!

On 3rd August we held our Red Fox Annual General Meeting and Annual Dinner at the Royal Lymington Yacht Club. The whole event was a great success. Within days of appointing a new chef you produced an excellent menu for the dinner and arranged facilities for our AGM. You and your staff were always very efficient and friendly, and it all made for a very enjoyable evening. We showed our appreciation by doubling the normal gratuity.

We had an excellent Sunday lunch. Please warmly congratulate Darren, your new chef!

On behalf of myself and my family, we just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone involved in my father’s wake on Friday. It was utterly perfect, and I truly think he would have loved it. Please pass on our thanks to the lovely staff and yourself who made it run so smoothly. The weather was simply stunning, and the drinks went down a little too nicely!

The Burns Night was brilliant!  Many thanks to yourself and the team for doing a huge amount of work to make it a great success!  Everything was perfect!

I thought I would drop you a line to say 4 of us had very delicious sandwiches at the Club on Friday lunchtime. They were perfect for what we required – having popped into the Club for a glass of wine and a quick bite to eat.
