Weston Bay Yacht Club

Our clubhouse is on the beach at Uphill, go onto the beach and turn left and after about four hundred yards you will come to a wooden building on concrete piers – that’s us!

We moved to Uphill a few years ago after amalgamating with the former Uphill Sailing Club which itself took over from the old Pegasus Sailing Club.  We were formed at Knightstone in 1932 where we first had the little green hut alongside the Fox Building and subsequently moved into the first floor of the Baths.  We stayed there until we had to leave to enable the current development to take place.

Our clubhouse has a bar, kitchen, toilets and a large room for social events.

During summer months a full programme of sailing events is arranged and in winter training courses approved by the Royal Yachting Association take place.

We hold a lease on the River Axe from the Environmental Agency and so control moorings from the fence near the clubhouse to the Brean Road Sluice.  These moorings are for the benefit of club members only.  Uphill Pill is not under our control.

Winter lay-up of boats is either at the boatyard or on the wharf where mains water and electricity are available to members.

Membership is open to anyone who is interested in sailing or boating.  Friday night is club night and if you want to join us, just come along.
