Calling all adventure-seekers and water enthusiasts! Paignton Sailing Club is thrilled to invite you to our exciting "Discover Sailing" event on 29th July 2023 between 10am and 2pm.

Whether you're a seasoned sailor or have never set foot on a boat, this event promises an unforgettable day filled with the joy of sailing and new discoveries.

What to Expect

At "Discover Sailing," everyone is welcome to join in on the excitement! No prior sailing experience is required. Our friendly and experienced instructors will guide you through a complimentary 30-minute trial sail, where you can feel the thrill of harnessing the wind and gliding across the sparkling waters of Tor Bay. It's an excellent chance to get hands-on with sailing and experience the unique freedom it offers.

But the adventure doesn't stop there! You'll also have the fantastic opportunity to hop on one of our Club RIBs (Rigid Inflatable Boats) for an up-close look at the sailing action. Witness the graceful manoeuvres of our sailboats as they race through the waves, and get a taste of the adrenaline that comes with sailing.
