****Want to find out more about the club? Read on...*****
Leeds University Sailing club is a sociable and active club that is perfect for all; from those yet to set sail to experienced voyagers. We are a diverse club that caters for all.
We currently sail at West Riding Sailing Club on a lovely reservoir near Wakefield.
Beginners
Our RYA qualified instructors run sailing sessions every saturday for just £10. The day roughly runs from about 10am - 5pm. The sessions can be used for complete novices, people wishing to progress into the team or simply those who want to get out of the city and chill out on the water. These are very relaxed and sociable. We also offer RYA courses that once completed will allow people to hire boats abroad.
Racers
University team racing is a hectic, vocal, high adrenaline form of racing. Our team regularly competes against other universities in team racing events. We have a fleet of 6 fireflies to train and race in. These events, which are hosted by other uni's, are competitive but relaxed, and give people a chance to experience the night life in different cities around the UK.
For those wanting really competitive racing, we will be sending a team to BUSA. This is the big uni event and everyone wants to win it.
The team trains every wednesday afternoon.
Socials
We have socials most weeks which are really good fun. We do a variety of things from BBQs to curries, Motown nights to Fruity and our infamous boys vs girls socials.
Just join our facebook group at http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=19712236216 to keep up to date with all thats happening.
