The Club holds dinghy races in the Harbour most weekends and during the week together with a neighbouring club (Shotley). There are also a number of cruiser races during the year which are run together with Harwich and Dovercourt Sailing Club. (See programme below). There is a mixture of boats in the park but the keener sailors tend to race Lasers or Cats. Although there are quite a few Mirrors they don't seem to make it on to the water in any great number at any one time. Sadly, we have only a small number of active junior members at present.
The sailing at Harwich is excellent. You can stick to the harbour area or explore the rivers Stour and Orwell, or head out to the more open waters of Dovercourt Bay and perhaps visit the Walton backwaters. If you have a cruiser the world's your oyster.
Harwich Town Sailing Club provides excellent facilities for the sailor
which include
- Easy access to the water at all states of the tide
- Easy access to the water from the road
- Plenty of parking for cars and trailers
- A large enclosed boat park
- A well equipped boat shed
- A comfortable clubhouse with a wonderful view of the harbour. There is a large changing room with showers and sauna.
And in the town there is
- A boat repairers and chandlers (AW Sailboats)
- A sail maker (Dolphin Sails)
- Plenty of accommodation and places to eat
Like most sailing clubs there are also plenty of activities off the water too. At present we have in the region of 200 members and the Club enjoys a healthy social life.
We can be found at the very end of the A120 at OS TM 262327. Harwich Town railway station is only 500 yards away and trains run each hour.
