The Club

2025 is the Centenary of the Club’s formation, and we will be celebrating in style on 28th June.  All members and friends welcome to join us

Wivenhoe is a popular location for dinghy sailing, as well as yacht cruising. The River Colne provides ideal access for continental trips and to local East Coast estuaries which offer both marina facilities and quiet anchorages.

Dinghy sailing takes place all year round with racing on Sundays and Social Sailing on Saturdays. Ad hoc sails are organised at other times.

The club is home to around 40 cruisers, 50 dinghies including club boats, and many kayaks & canoes. Two gig clubs: Corsairs and Wivgigs and the Wivenhoe Rivercare Group are based at the club

The Club has tidal moorings for members and is well equipped to enable cruiser sailors to lay-up at the clubhouse and launch using our own slipway.

We have a modern Clubhouse in a great position overlooking the river with a comfortable bar and lounge and host many social events during the year including dinners and dances as well as a range of exhibitions and talks.
