We are a friendly club that aims to accommodate the interests of individuals, families, keen racers and those who just enjoy “messing about in boats”.

Whitemere provides beginners with safe sailing in attractive surroundings but the surrounding trees can give rise to fluky winds which can test the skills of the most experienced sailor. It's a delightful place to spend a sunny summer day even if you don't manage to get into a boat! New members are always welcome.

A damp day at Whitemere today, but some hardy souls got some valuable practice in with our instructors, as part of our Refresher programme. Meanwhile Pat appeared to be sailing around a lot of masts.....

It was great to see over 200 visitors attending Shropshire Sailing Club’s open day on bank holiday Monday.

Take a look at the drone footage we took of the day - we hope you all enjoyed your experience and thank you to everyone who came along and to our wonderful members who helped make the day such a roaring success.

And don’t forget we have extended our special offer of waving the joining fee until Monday 18th May, for those who registered at the event - so come and join the fun at Shropshire Sailing Club.

Lovely afternoon June sailing, (in April!), as the wind suddenly changed direction and picked up. Welcome to new member Jo and to some of our regular Wednesday sailors, Sheena and daughter Molly, Mike, Carole, Keith, Huw, Rob and Colin. Also good to see Doug, Dave and Bryn and special thanks to Brian for providing safety duty.

What a contrast racing was this Sunday to the previous Sunday! Last week, not much wind to this week, force 7 gusts!
