Thornbury Sailing Club

Outstanding natural beauty and unparalleled tidal sailing make Thornbury Sailing Club a truly unique place to sail.

We are an active club with organised sailing for dinghies and cruisers throughout the year. We run RYA Sail Training in April and the Better Sailing development programme throughout the year, to help new sailors make the most of this great opportunity.

Dinghy sailing

We have a thriving dinghy community, we run a full racing programme (including handicap series and novice races), as well as Free Sailing days for more relaxed sailing with safety boat cover, day sailing for the more adventurous and RYA Sailing Training for beginners and novices.

Club facilities

Our clubhouse has the most spectacular views and provides bar, galley and changing rooms. We have a secure dinghy compound, hard-standing for cruisers, boat-shed, a floating jetty and moorings for cruisers and larger dinghies and a concrete slip for dinghies. Power boating is not permitted as the club objective is to encourage sailing.
