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.
