Real Sea Sailing — on your doorstep.

Shoreham Sailing Club is one of the South Coast's most distinctive sailing clubs — because we sail on the sea. Not a lake. Not a reservoir. We launch from our slipway into the sheltered waters of the River Adur and from there straight out into the English Channel and along the beautiful Sussex coastline.

We're based at Soldiers Point on Shoreham Beach, just 15 minutes west of Brighton and an hour from London by train. On Saturday 9 May we're throwing open our doors for our annual Open Day — and we'd love you to come and see what we're about.

What's on;

Whether you've never set foot on a boat or you're a seasoned sailor looking for a new home, there's something for you on the day.

🌊 Taster Sails — weather permitting, get out on the water for a short sail in the harbour. There's no better way to experience what SSC is about than feeling the sea breeze for the first time. Free, and no experience needed.

⛵ Boat Displays — a wide range of club boats on show in the dinghy park, from family dinghies to single-handers and catamarans. Owners on hand to chat about their boats.

🧭 Improvers & Youth Info. — find out how our friendly Improvers programme takes complete beginners from their first taster session to independent sailors, and learn about our brand new Youth Club for young sailors aged 10–18.

🏠 Clubhouse & Refreshments — tea, coffee and cake in our welcoming clubhouse, with a licensed bar and stunning waterfront views. Come and soak up the atmosphere.

👥 Membership Desk — ready to answer all your questions about joining, with no pressure and plenty of time to chat.

A club for everyone — you don't have to sail.

SSC isn't just for sailors. Associate (social) membership starts from just £55/year and gives you access to the clubhouse, our vibrant social calendar, and our affiliate partners:

- Nomadic Sauna — sauna sessions at SSC.

- Yoga at Shoreham SC — regular yoga classes at the club.

- Pilates at Shoreham SC — pilates in the clubhouse.

- KRPT Personal Training — personal training sessions on site.---

Membership options.

There's a membership type for everyone at SSC — from full sailing membership for individuals, couples and families, through to affordable options for young people, students and cadets. If sailing isn't for you, our Associate (social) membership lets you be part of the club community without ever setting foot on a boat.
