It’s time for some more Dangles from “Bojangles.” Contender 2523 I have just returned from a truly wonderful week having epic adventures with my Owner
This Saturday we are hosting our annual race to Mostyn and back. It’s a simple race straight across the Dee Estuary – always a welcome
The weather gods were smiling kindly on Costa del Kirby this weekend! The 4th-7th July saw the annual West Kirby SC and Dee SC open
Come and enjoy the fun and challenge of sailing at WKSC whatever your level of ability, our members range from to those who enjoy sailing at a non-competitive level to those who compete in national and international competition, as well as those who like talking about sailing.
Dinghy classes sail on the marine lake on weekday evenings, and may sail on either the lake or tide at the weekend. Dinghy classes include: Albacore, RS Feva, Firefly, GP14, Illusion, International Canoe, Laser, Lark, Mirror, Solo.
We have four classes which sail purely on the tide: Stars, Falcons and Hilbres which race mainly at weekends. Limbos are a class of small cruisers who have just set up at WKSC.A number of our members also have cruising yachts and motor launches which are moored out on the Dee Estuary.
We have a thriving junior section and are always pleased to welcome new junior members and families; parents or carers are very much encouraged to be involved in the children’s sailing activities.
Friday night is Junior night from April to September. From the age of 5 upwards, junior members can start to sail and develop their racing skills in a safe environment or just have fun on the water while their families relax on the terrace!
You don’t have to have any previous sailing experience or to own a boat. If you want to buy a boat, fleet captains and club members are more than happy to help with advice on selection and purchase. There is sailing almost every day during the summer months, and weekend sailing on the lake during the winter. Whether you wish to sail in a competitive fleet on the tide or on the lake, or would rather enjoy sailing at a more leisurely pace, WKSC can meet your needs.
New members are always welcome,
