Daneshill Sailing Club is a small club with no delusions of grandeur! Our facilities have been described as poor - others have, very hurtfully, described them as non-existent! This is not quite true, but we have to admit that they are minimal!
What we lack in facilities we make up for in the welcome we give to visitors and new members. If you are a complete novice or an experienced sailor we will welcome you. If we can help you to improve your sailing we will, you may be able to improve ours!
Various boats are sailed at the club including Laser, GP14, Enterprise, Laser 16, Comet and 420.
