Shake Down Cruise 2026

The season is upon us and the Shake Down has been organised. Weather permitting, we are going to Lowestoft over the weekend of 15th to 17th May. Six boats are booked in, but if others would like to join us, feel free!

If weather conditions are adverse, we shall consider our options.

Further cruises will be posted but, if you have ideas, I would be delighted to hear from you.  Guy

Cruising Beyond the River Bar

Orford Sailing Club members have cruised to the Arctic Circle, as Far East as St Petersburg, South America, the Mediterranean and the Pacific. There have been numerous Atlantic crossings.


Cruising Yachts

As well as busy, well supported, club cruises within the Thames Estuary and to Continental Europe, members of the club regularly cruise long distances and yachts carrying the Club’s burgee have been found as far afield as Arctic waters, South America and even as far east as Moscow.
