Durham University Sailing Club was founded by Malcolm Dodds in1966. We have grown a lot since then and now our members take part in team racing, fleet racing, match racing and yachting events around the country. We have a flight of twelve Fireflies and sail at Derwent Reservoir, which is about a 30 minute drive from Durham.
Any Durham University students can join the sailing club, and while most of the sailing that we currently do is racing, there are other opportunities too, for example enjoying the sunshine (hopefully!) in one of our summer sailing sessions. We are hoping to bring in some coaching for beginner sailors in the coming summer season.
It is always possible to come along to one of our sailing social whether you are part of the team or not and if you would like to do some sailing while at Durham then it couldn’t be easier - just get in touch with us at dot8sc@durham.ac.uk or search for us on Facebook or Instagram.
We are one of the most leading university sailing clubs, competing in Team Racing, Yacht Racing and Match Racing in annual Championships of British Universities & Colleges Sport and the British Universities Sailing Association. We also host an annual social team racing event, the Angel of the North, bringing university teams from around the country to spend a weekend racing and take part in epic socials.
Information about all sailing opportunities is sent out via our club mailing list. To be added to the mailing list please email Sailing Club or feel free to contact any member of the Exec, who will be happy to help.
