With the main clubhouse, extensive boatyard with new lift and moorings on the river adur, along with the original clubhouse and locked moorings within Shoreham Port, SYC is first and foremost a members club with unrivalled facilities. Yachts of all sizes call the club home, with both rallying and racing strongly supported, as is the dinghy section where particular attention is given to encouraging youth sailors. The club has a thriving diving section and is home to Sussex Sailability, supporting handicapped sailors of all abilities. SYC also boasts a bar and steward famous for hospitality on both sides of the channel, along with a recently relaunched restaurant enjoying the best river views in Shoreham.
Sextant CourseThe Club will be holding another Sextant Course on 26 September. For further information click here >>
The latest on Guy Meadows boatFor the past few weeks there has been a request for information on the dinghy Guy Meadows used to race at SYC.

Royal Escape 2010
There is also a simple poll asking whether skippers would like to start at first light next year to try and get as many boats as possible over the finishing line before the breeze drops on the French coast. Oh and the date for the next Royal Escape is Friday 27 May 2011.... |
SYC on Facebook and Flickr
There are some new places where we can post pictures and comment... We recently opened up a Facebook page for the Keelboats where pictures and comments can be posted by Facebook members and this can be found by clicking here >> We have also dusted off the old Flikr group for pictures of the yachts that's been around since 2007 and loaded the latest pics to browse through. All you need to be able to load pictures onto Flickr is a Yahoo account so if you are out and about with a camera afloat then perhaps this is where you can play. Flickr group is here >> Steve Thomas took all the pics of the Summer Series racing from the weekend 26-27 June so if he snapped your boat then say thanks to him and Tracey who also organised the weekend's racing.
