Sailing Clubs in Norfolk

   I'm moving up to Norfolk in the summer from Kent and am looking for a club to move my radial to! I dont know any of the clubs up there but I'd like to find one that has quite competitive racing and a radial fleet. Where's good?
Cheers Amy

	Im gonna be living near Aylesham so north norfolk or the broads is closest. Have no real preference for inland or sea, prefer sea but inland sometimes has better racing!

	HI Amily You can try Hickling Broad sailing Club which is the largest & windest broad in the complete set but the dinghy park spaces are very limited. (there's also Blakeney Sailing club) This is a good bit of water with limited sailing time due to access to the sailing area due to narrow river & tides. The club will usually give a tow to sailors who can not get back due to tide / wind. (i would suggest hunstanton s.c - http://www.hunstantonsc.co.uk) when i last went to hunstanton the tide was out & there was about 1/2 mile of amazing sand between the launching tolleys & the water.Looked like damm good sailing though.

	thanks for all your help! Don't suppose anyone out there actually sails at any of these clubs so they can give me some insider information on stuff like their social life?! Edited by Amily

	I've done North West Norfork Week and there all jolly friendly. Especially if you like mud. Hence my suggestion of Hunstanton s.c. :-)
