Welcome to Ely Sailing Club

Ely Sailing Club is based at Roswell Pits in Ely, Cambridgeshire. We have over 35 acres of fresh water with islands, trees and banks. The sailing is interesting, challenging and fun. There is dry launching directly from jetties, and crews are able to sail without getting their feet wet. We are a recognised Royal Yachting Association (RYA) training centre providing a range of sailing courses. In addition to sailing, we run a variety of social events for members. Our club is family orientated and run by its members, for its members, with good value and enjoyment for all. Our key goal is to promote sailing as an enjoyable hobby in a friendly and welcoming club, open to all levels of experience & confidence.
