Papercourt Sailing Club

Just what we like to see!

Sun and boats on the water, summer youth sailing has started for 2026 at Papercourt!! 🎉⛵

A huge thank you to Megan Pascoe, double 2.4mR World Champion from Frensham Pond Sailing Club, for joining us at Papercourt this week to share her expert insight into the Racing Rules of Sailing and to lead a brilliant clubhouse-floor simulation. Inspiring, insightful, and fun for all! 🏆⛵️

Thank you to https://www.roostersailing.com/ for sponsoring our early-season 🐣 "Spring Chicken" Handicap 🐔 last Sunday! Papercourt sailors and safety-boat crews defied the distinctly un-spring-like driving rain 🌧️ and icy gusts 🌬️ that greeted our well-kitted-out racers when they turned up in the morning, for four invigorating GH races, culminating in Prizegiving Tea & Cake 🍰

Congratulations to our Rooster Spring Chicken 🏆 Prizewinners:

🥇 1st Richard Thomas (ILCA 7)
🥈 2nd Frank Brown (Solo)
🥉 3rd Andrew Hill-Smith (ILCA 7)

🏅 1st Topper Ethan Pillinger

We're now braced for the season ahead! ⛵️⛵️⛵️

All year round cruising available every Tuesday morning at our popular "Launch & Lunch" sessions. Informal coaching and social sailing, followed by bring-your-own lunch in the clubhouse

sailors at Papercourt Sailing Club have been training over the winter in readiness for the 2026 open traveller season https://www.europeclass.org.uk/racing/calendar

Great place to learn to sail whether you’re a beginner or returning to the sport, we have something for all age groups.

Thank you sailors and coaches for a fun day with Papercourt Sailing Club sailors, in your colourful Firefly fleet last Sunday. The big sailors learnt loads from the little sailors! Look forward to the next one!

Papercourt Sailing Club - there are worse places to spend a sunny Sunday. Great breeze and lots going on

Very lively start to Summer Youth Training in the Topper Group.

What what what what what???

“The Apprentice” winners this week get a “luxury experience at Queen Mary Sailing Club”??

Firstly, it’s raining, but more importantly, why didn’t they pick us????

Grey Saturday for Youth Training but a much brighter day for racing on Sunday. Another great weekend at Papercourt!
