Laser race fleets in London

When I used to live in SE London (Crystal Palace) I found it was just as quick to drive to Datchet as it was to Weirwood or Bough Beech.  I would recommend taking a look at the map under the "Clubs" button above and spending a few days driving out to some of the clubs that look local and taking a look at how much racing they have going on.  It wouldn't surprise me if you find that it is as quick to get to the Medway clubs (Hoo and Wilsonian), down the A2, than King George or Putney, which are a lot closer.  The Southend clubs (e.g. Thorpe Bay) may also be an option now the A13 is improved.

Hi Julian,

We have a pretty good Laser fleet at Ranelagh in Putney with 2 days sailing every weekend and a mid-week series in the Summer which has 6 more races to go. There is also a Laser open on June 21st. Membership is about £45 till the end of the year and berth rental for indoor storage is £10 per month. We are restricted as Corinthian are by the tides and sailing time varies each week.

Check out the web pages at www.ranelagh-sc.co.uk, email from there will reach me. If you look at results you can see how many Lasers are sailing regularly.

I have raced at LONDON  CORINTHIAN  SAILING  CLUB near to Hammersmith, they have a good racing Laser fleet.

I did a Thames Valley event there last year, its a great club and friendly people too. Launching can only be done at certain times due to the tide.

(its not east though, its west from the Docklands.)
