wouldnt it be good if a club had a big club house right on the edge of the water. sort of acting like a comity boat. ------------- International 14 1503 |

I am sure a lot of clubs do - look at ours at Lancing. It is varies from about 40m at high tide to a lot more at low tide. ------------- Bonnie Lass Contender 1764 |

Weston Sailing Club is even closer - you can sail to within feet of the clubhouse. ------------- Bonnie Lass Contender 1764 |

yer that would be cool cos when you have an open meeting the spectators can be in the thick of the action. wouldnt it be better at an inland club? ------------- International 14 1503 |

my club - Yeadon sailing club- is about 2.5 meters from the water, with it been such an iccle lake u get to see almost everything from the club apart from when the island has loads of leaves on the trees, but thats only right at the bottom end where the lake shallows off ( saying that its deepest point is about 5ft well maybe 6ft at a push) the majority is only around 4ft deep, http://www.yeadonsailingclub.org.uk/ - http://www.yeadonsailingclub.org.uk/ ------------- Jon Vortex 1169 http://www.yorkshiredales.sc/ - Yorkshire Dales Sailing Club |

I think Hayling is a very well designed clubhouse - but it has it drawbacks. Nothing for the families to do locally. And if you sail in the bay you go out for hours and there is no sailing to watch as it is so far away. Last year at our nationals it felt like we almost reached the IOW before we started racing. ------------- Bonnie Lass Contender 1764 |

The clubhouse at Sheppey is just 10m from the water at high tide. Beat that for a sea sailing venue! The only trouble is they built a seawall in front of the clubhouse ------------- IOS Sailing Community - http://www.iossc.org.uk/" rel="nofollow - www.iossc.org.uk |
; before that the bar was virtually on the start line. Hopefully, we'll be in a position to build an extension in the not to distant future.

At Lee on Solent our Clubhouse is a 5 minute walk down the road from the dinghy park, mind u we do have a small signal station right down on the shore, although it doesnt have a bar, or, bizarely, toilets. ------------- Fireball RSA 14723 Simonis 35 "Scarlet Sun" SA 1500 Royal Cape Yacht Club |

it is, the nearest public toilets r'nt that far away tho, but since the signal station has showers it seems a little odd that nobday thought of putting toilets in when they built it. ------------- Fireball RSA 14723 Simonis 35 "Scarlet Sun" SA 1500 Royal Cape Yacht Club |
