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.

Wow! Winter working parties finish for 2025.

Wow. Our club has the best members (although some might say that we're biased...). With the dinghy season starting next week, it's the perfect chance to reflect on all the incredible work that's gone in to the boats, grounds and clubhouse over the winter working parties. In a truly great display of clubmanship, the last 10 Sundays have seen us in wellies, rain macs, overalls, gardening gloves and all other manner of More »

Tying the Week Together - Knots Night at Ely SC

Last night, Ely Sailing Club hosted a 'Knots & Nibbles' skills booster night. We roped in the fun, and it was great to see people unwinding at the club. And with the slightly warmer evenings (5 weeks until sailing is back!), the club felt very welcoming and alive; helped by the bubble of chatter as people came for a good evening out. Dave and Yvonne kindly offered to teach us some knots, and we More »
