UWE sailing is open to all abilities from beginners to experienced sailors. It’s a great way to get outdoors and away from the city!
UWE Sailing is a fun and friendly club catering to beginners and advanced sailors. All abilities are welcome whether you have never set foot on a boat before or were born at sea. We offer weekly social sailing, team training and teaching sessions.
We sail at South Cerney Sailing Club in the beautiful Cotswold Water Park and have access to a wide range of boats including our lovely fleet of fireflies. We sail Wednesdays and Saturdays but this can vary depending on the weather and member interest.
We compete in the BUCS (British Universities and Colleges Sport) hosted fleet and team racing events against other universities nationwide. These are an excellent opportunity to meet other sailors and explore new cities. We love to get everyone involved in these events, whether you have raced before or not.
Each year we run a trip abroad, where we enjoy an island-hopping, party-filled week, all whilst living on yachts! We will be releasing more information soon but for now, have a look at our company host's website here.
And saving the best till last! We have many socials planned for this year, including nights out in the city centre, pub socials and BBQ's. These are great fun and an excellent way to get to know other club members.
