About Marconi Sailing Club

Facilities

Marconi Sailing Club encompasses some 5 acres of green fields; with ample boat storage space, parking, a wide launching ramp and newly refurbished facilities in a two-story clubhouse. The Club enjoys on site camping for 28 days a year, two weeks of which are taken in early August when we also run a hugely successful cadet week.

Sailing Waters

The Club sails in the wide tidal estuary of the River Blackwater, with launching and sailing possible at any state of the tide. The estuary is ideal for exploring the islands of Osea and Northey and trips can be made to Bradwell and Maldon. Beyond Bradwell, the North Sea beckons our more intrepid sailors.

Racing

The Club racing series includes two races on a Sunday from mid March to mid November. Separate starts are made for two catamaran classes, and three dinghy classes. One-off events, evening pursuit racing and bank holiday series’ are also on offer.

MSC is also home to the East Coast Piers Race, a long distance catamaran event held for charity which attracts visitors from across Europe.

Come and visit us on stand G48 to join in the fun and enjoy some of our goodies.

We look forward to seeing you over the weekend.
