We are run on a voluntary non-profit making basis, and believe that all forms of boating should be affordable for local people in Cardiff Bay. We do not want to become a restricted centre for excellence but to allow members to participate in any level of activity that suits them. We also want to ensure that the traditional community activities can be retained so that our sport can be enjoyed by local people and visitors.

If you've seen the River Cam in Cambridge, you may find it hard to believe there's a sailing club on such a narrow river. It's a little wider where we sail and we have a good stretch of water that's clear of trees. The CSC has thrived on the Cam since 1899.
The club owns several dinghies, which belong to these classes:
* Optimist (suitable for small children)
* Topper (for larger children or small adults)
* Mirror (for adults and/or children)
* Enterprise (mainly an adult boat)
* Laser (mainly an adult boat).
Members can sail these club boats free of charge, but most members have their own boats, which they keep at the club. Some are in the classes mentioned above, but they also include (or have recently included) these classes:
* Graduate
* Comet
* Scorpion
* British Moth
* Byte
* Merlin Rocket
* numerous other types.
We have over 30 sailing cruisers in the club, all owned by members. They range from traditional Broads style wooden boats (one with a topsail) to new fibreglass boats. Cruisers have access to the waters of the Great Ouse System.
A number of recognized classes are represented, notably the Jaguar 21 and Sailfish 18 classes. We have 12 Sailfish boats and we hold an annual open meeting for them, when we are joined by Sailfish owners from near and far. See photo of 13 Sailfish moored at Upware.
Founded in 1946 on the banks of a disused clay pit, Ely Sailing Club is and friendly and welcoming place to enjoy dinghy sailing. The water and islands cover an area of approximately 40 acres and are surrounded by banks and trees which although scenic, make for interesting winds on occasions. The club has an extensive racing program, much of which is run from the race office adjacent to the main clubhouse. Anyone interested in starting racing will receive plenty of advice and encouragement from existing members.
Although racing has been an active part of club life for many years, there is also an active group of sailors who prefer to cruise around the waters in a variety of boats. The cruising group are active mostly on Saturdays during the sailing season while the racing predominantly takes place on Sunday afternoons. During the Summer months there is organised club sailing on Thursday evenings. As a fully recognised RYA Training Centre we offer introductory and beginners courses run by our own club instructors. Please see our "Training" section for more details.
Grafham Water provides the ideal venue for sailors of all ages and abilities. There are over 1500 acres of water, with several slip-ways making access very easy.
The Clubhouse itself is well-equipped to make your visit pleasant and memorable!

Events throughout the year vary from Passage Races, Cruising in company, Annual Regatta and a Summer series of 'Round the Cans' races (normally held mid week in the evenings).

The RCIYC was founded in 1862, as a Jersey yacht club, although there is no doubt that there were some Guernsey residents present from the beginning. For the next 92 years it so remained, with all decisions being made in Jersey and any member wishing to attend a club function, having to travel to St Aubin’s. However in 1954, the Guernsey membership, having grown to several hundreds, it was felt appropriate that this island should have its own premises, control over its own finances, and its own flag officers. Saving that the superiority of Jersey was maintained. Guernsey could have a Vice Commodore, who remained junior to the Commodore in Jersey. All resolutions passed by the Guernsey committee were subject to ratification although such ratification was never actually withheld.

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.
