Welcome to Sunderland Yacht Club

If you want to learn to sail, improve your racing, cruise the beautiful North East coastline or enjoy a drink with unrivaled sea-views, SYC offers everything you need and a warm welcome.

We are a friendly, family orientated club offering a warm welcome to anyone with an interest in sailing. Whether you are a beginner, looking for RYA training or seeking the competitive thrill of racing, we offer everything you need.

Our prime location makes us ideal for many water sports, we have active cruisers and racers in both dinghies and keel-boats as well as paddle-boarders and kayaks joining to enjoy the club’s facilities.

For those not too sure about their sea legs yet we offer social membership which allows you to enjoy our bar and galley facilities in beautiful surroundings.

Embrace the Great Outdoors!

Whilst the last 12 months have thrown many ups and downs at us all, it has also made many of us appreciate the great outdoors. If daily walks up and down the coast have sparked an interest in getting out there and learning a new sport Sunderland Yacht Club is the perfect choice.

SYC offers a wide range of facilities. Whether you are a paddle-boarder who would appreciate a warm shower and cold drink after your paddle or completely new to water sports, we would love to welcome you. Our membership covers people of all ages and abilities and offers a great opportunity to meet like-minded people with a love of the sea. Beach front access and a sheltered harbour for beginners and easy access to the wide-open sea for more of a challenge, it is the perfect choice for you and your family.

If you would like to know more, please contact Membership@sunderlandyachtclub.co.uk

We look forward to welcoming you soon.

Countdown to Re-Opening

Now the road-map to re-opening and plan to get us back on the water has been published we are all itching to get started with the season.

Dinghy sailing activity will return to the club on Saturday 3^rd of April. April will be dedicated to training sessions covering informal training in dinghies and powerboats to help everyone ease back onto the water after a year of disruption!

Mooring work parties are set to get going soon with lift in scheduled for the 24^th April. From then on, our sailing program begins in earnest.

With the planned relaxation of Covid restriction in summer Roker Regatta will be back this year. We will also be hosting Musto Skiff Nationals, Roker Dinghy Regatta and rounding off the year with the UKLA qualification event on top of all our programmed club racing!

All details will be posted on the club website.

Can you help?

The club has two big events in our calendar this year. From the 29^th July to the 1^st August we will be hosting the Musto Skiff National Championships. The 25^th and 26^th September see the return of the Laser fleet for their qualification event.

Both of these events significantly raise the profile of our club as a first-class sailing venue but can’t be a success without your help. We will need RIB drivers and crew, people to work shore-side as well as committee boat support to help run the event. If you are willing to help in any way, please let us know. If you want to get involved but are not sure how, please do get in touch at: Commodore@sunderlandyachtclub.co.uk or Sailing@sunderlandyachtclub.co.uk
