Bath Sailing Club
Bath Sailing Club is a small friendly club that traditionally meets at The Village Club in Bathford (58 High Street, BA1 7SN) at 19:15 for 19:45 on the second Monday of the month throughout the winter.
Meetings usually start with an informal gathering in the bar then move into the function room for a talk from a guest speaker. The Crown Inn, just down the hill, serves excellent food should you fancy a meal first.
The club also organises RYA courses, obtaining group discounts for the participants.
Some club members offer berths on their own boats and others are willing to act as crew. Several club members privately charter, not as part of the club, and are often looking for additional crew to share the cost. If you are looking to get into sailing but do not have a yacht or the experience to charter on your own this may be of interest to you.
The club is starting to spread its wings through informal tie-ins with the Bristol Sailing Association and the Go Sailing Association.
For more information, please contact the Secretary or Chairman via our Contact page, or turn up on the night at The Village Club for a warm welcome!

‘Titanic effort’ – the story of RMS Carpathia and her dash to save the stricken liner
For our next meeting (following a record breaking and hugely successful Annual Dinner this week) we are delighted to welcome as Guest Speaker, Paul Barnett, who will be talking about the lesser-known story of the heroic efforts to reach the sinking Titanic.
On April 15, 1912, after the Titanic struck an iceberg and sank on her maiden voyage, the Carpathia arrived approximately two hours later and rescued 705 survivors from the lifeboats. This illustrated presentation takes us through the drama and revealing facts of the disaster.
Family, friends and neighbours are most welcome.
(Our planned talk by Squadron Leader Tristan LeLohé has been postponed until later in the year)
