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.

Spring Series Results

The 2012 Spring Series results are now online - click here to view. Four races were sailed, which is pretty good for the wettest April on record. The final race on April 28 was cancelled with a F6 forecast. The results for the series are: Bingheau 1st, Hitchhiker 2nd, Trojan 3rd and Foxtrot Oscar 4th.

Club Working Party

Many thanks to the small and hardy band that turned up for the re-arranged Working Party on April 22nd. We didn't do quite as much as we usually do but the quality was of the highest order and we are very grateful to those who turned up
