Etherow is a friendly club (when racing we experience good-natured rivalry!) and we welcome everyone: from those who may never have put their foot in a dinghy before, to Olympic team coach. Membership is inexpensive and we have some club boats that can be used, for a nominal charge, during the early stages. There are plenty of boats for sale within the club and elsewhere for very little money.

These pages are to give you an idea of the club, who we are, where we are and what we have to offer. The club has three main components:
An active dinghy racing section on the Mersey
A yacht cruising section based at the club
Social members who enjoy the club bar and a bit of sailing
Here we play host to the West Kirby Sailing Club, Falcon Fleet for a mid-summer regatta. Using the tides the competitors had sailed up the Mersey from their base at New Brighton.
