On Sundays from 1st November to 6th December there are 2 standard club races using standard club sailing instructions (available soon) with the first warning signal at 1300. 

On 13th December is the Christmas Pudding Pursuit race (the link to sailing instructions is available below). The warning signal is 1100.

Cost

The cost is £29 per boat including helm and crew, or £17 for under 18s.

Boat storage

If there is space you can store your boat at the club (which there always has been). RSC has limited spaces for visitor dinghies (monohull only), dependent on existing members vacating spaces for the winter. If you do want to bring a monohull dinghy down then email the club at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. to check space availability in the dinghy park. All dinghies must be removed by the 18th December 2026. It is compulsory to have a tie down rope (there are ropes laid to tie this to) and we would advise bringing wedges for the wheels, as some of our spaces are on a bit of a slope.  

There is generally (dependent on tide) room on the beach to rig a towed dinghy but you cannot leave the car or trailer on the beach while you sail!
