Last Wednesday evening on the river!

Some very fluky easterly winds.
Holly's first trip out on a single hander, and Tim's Enterprise is going well with the new centre board!

Looking forward to our annual Regatta with YOSC on the 6th at Naburn, but in the meantime hopefully the conditions will be kind for a sail on Sunday. ⛵

A bit late posting from Wednesday’s sail.

Three boats on the water, with amazing light and reflections after the eclipse - but very little wind! There was some skilful handling needed to keep things moving!

It was also Tim’s first trip out in his Enterprise, ably crewed by Holly.

I’m not sure our photographer saw any paddles being used… 😉⛵

The summer holidays have been taking lots of us away from the River Ouse... but not away from sailing! 🌞⛵

Here's one of our GP14s enjoying a holiday of its own in beautiful, sunny Northumberland this week. Wherever you're spending the summer, we hope you're finding time to get out on the water somewhere!

We can't wait to see everyone back on the river in August! 💙

Last Wednesday was a beautiful view from the bridge ... even if they had to paddle back! Will the wind gods be kind to us this week?!

Welcome to York Sailing Club.

We're a friendly dinghy sailing club on the River Ouse at Bishopthorpe, just south of York, and we welcome new members.

There are several ways to get involved:

• Experienced sailors
Join us and get straight out on the water.

• New to sailing
Crew for an experienced member and learn as you go. Our members are always happy to share their knowledge, and several are qualified RYA instructors.

You don't need your own boat to join, and club boats are available for club members to use.

We sail regularly on Wednesday evenings and Sundays throughout the season. Whether you're interested in racing or simply enjoying time on the water, there's a place for you at YSC.

Another enjoyable Sunday Club Day on the water, with 14 members taking part. We had 5 GP14s and the Fusion out on the river, making for a great turnout.

The wind was even more frustrating than usual, keeping everyone on their toes throughout the racing. There were plenty of close battles and shifting fortunes. Stephen managed to beat Pete in one race, while Matt made very light work of righting the Fusion after a capsize - great learning and practice! 😉

We were also pleased to welcome Hani for a taster day and hope you enjoyed your time on the water.

Many thanks to Noah, Mike, and Angela for the fantastic photos.

If you'd like to find out more about joining the club and enjoyingtine on the Ouse, we'd love to hear from you. Please email [email protected] for more information.
