Sailing takes place in the safety of Swansea Bay which is situated at the start of the Gower Peninsula designated by the National Trust as an area of outstanding natural beauty. Dinghy, catamaran, crusier and youth sailing/racing takes place every weekend during the Spring, Summer and Autumn, with additional evening sailing during Summer weekdays. We also run a well attended Winter series between October and March with sailing/racing every other weekend.
