Welcome

Welcome to Orford Sailing Club

Orford Sailing Club is a friendly club for sailors of all abilities, based on the Suffolk Coast. We have a regular racing programme of handicap and class racing including Wayfarers, Mirrors, Fevas, Handicap series and Novices, as well as occasional races for cruisers and local classes.

We welcome beginners and we are a recognised RYA Training Centre. We are also an RYA OnBoard club, and we run free sailing Taster sessions for adults and young people during the summer. If you would like to give sailing a try, see our OnBoard page.

If you are interested in becoming a member, you are very welcome to visit us in Orford. There is more information about club membership on our membership page.

Day Skipper Course at Orford

We will be holding a Day Skipper theory course over three weekends in March in conjunction with SeaTrain Sailing. The course follows the RYA Day Skipper syllabus, and is an ideal opportunity to brush up your seamanship and navigation skills.

Course topics include navigation, chartwork, electronic charts, weather, tides, collision regulations and emergency and safety procedures.

The course will be held in Barts Hall, Orford, on March 10-11th, 17-18th and 24-25th. The cost will be £250, which includes the course pack. If you're interested, please contact James Robinson, email:

Toppers and Junior Regatta
Friday 5th August 2011

The President's Mirror Challenge was held on Sunday 7th August. The aim was to get as many Mirrors as possible on the start line and to complete a course in full view of the Club House. 19 boats competed, which shows the continuing popularity of this 1960's design!
