The club is based near Skipton in North Yorkshire. The 27 acres of water provide a great environment for learning to sail and demanding but enjoyable racing. The club welcomes sailors of all ages and abilities, expert or beginner, and has a wide variety of dinghies in the fleet, single and double handers, trapeze and asymetrics together with a  number of windsurfers. Canoeists, kayakers and paddleboarders also use the water as members of the club.

There are plenty of opportunities to race in the handicap fleet on Tuesdays and Sundays or take place in one (or all!) of the training and social sailing events on Friday evenings throughout the summer months. 

The rest of the time the water is available for general sailing activities including organised and informal training and family fun events throughout the year. If you are looking for a friendly and active sailing club for yourself or the family then Craven Sailing Club could be just the place for you. Take a look around our pages, call in at the club to meet some of the members, drop us an email, but most of all - Happy Sailing!

PLEASE NOTE THAT UNFORTUNATELY WE ARE UNABLE TO OFFER DAY SAILING OR ACCESS FOR PADDLING TO NON-MEMBERS. WE'RE AFRAID OUR LANDLORD, YORKSHIRE WATER, DOES NOT PERMIT WILD SWIMMING IN THE RESERVOIR.
