Up River Yacht Club
In past years these events were strongly supported by Up River Yacht Club, regrettably since the disruption caused by Covid, the Club has found it necessary to re-evaluate our support for this event. This re-evaluation was triggered by a combination of a lack of resources and increasingly onerous responsibilities and regulation. This is now a strong deterrent to volunteers stepping forward to take members of the public sailing.
Up River Yacht Club is not a commercial organisation and does not have training staff or professional RYA trainers. Unless the position changes, as much as we would like to help members of the public engage with sailing and particularly to give young people an opportunity to try out this sport, regrettably we must decline to participate.
Feedback from previous events
What people said who attended:
How you heard about the event – Friend
What was good – It was excellent. A very well organised event that we would love to attend again. Everyone was very friendly and put my two young sons at ease as they had never sailed before. They had a wonderful time and slept very well afterwards 😀
What was not so good – We were very happy and wouldn’t have changed anything!
Sum up the day: An excellent day full of fun, frolics, tea and cake – what more could you want?!
