Durham Sailing Club

Durham University Sailing club was founded by Malcolm Dodds in 1966. We have grown a lot since then and now our members take part in team racing, fleet racing, match racing and yachting events around the country. We have a jet flight of eleven Fireflies and sail at Derwent Reservoir, which is about a 30-minute drive from Durham. Any Durham University students can join the sailing club, and while most of the sailing that we currently do is racing, there are other opportunities too, for example, enjoying the sunshine (hopefully!) in one of our summer sailing sessions. It is always possible to come along to one of our sailing socials whether you are part of the team or not and if you would like to do some sailing while at Durham then it couldn't be easier.
