Welcome

Let me extend a warm welcome to Fishers Green Sailing Club.

We are a friendly club situated in the picturesque Lee Valley Regional Park with competitive Club Racing, casual sailing and a well-respected Model Boat section. There are social events throughout the year and plenty of opportunities to sail or to help out. You can reach our membership secretary on membership@fishersgreensc.org.uk for more information.

Update (31st July): The club is further relaxing restrictions in line with Government Guidelines – see our COVID-19 policy.

The site and lake is open for our members to take part in sailing, windsurfing, social paddle-boarding and canoeing/kayaking, but due to the ongoing Government restrictions we are not allowing the use our changing rooms.

As the COVID-19 restrictions are gradually being relaxed we are open to new members who have some experience of sailing. Sorry, but at this present time we are not able to offer “experience sessions” for non-sailors, as we are not allowing mixed households in a boat.

Please note that club members are not required to carry out duties (OOD, Security or Race-Officer) during this period.
