Club member Clive Marsh recently wrote an article for Practical Boat Owner, inspired by the visit of Ian Hayward who visited Rye Harbour Sailing Club during his circumnavigation of the British Isles by Sea Kayak.

Dinghies are being moved back. The chain to secure them is in place but not anchored. The final stage will be to anchor the perimeter chain and reallocate berths by class.

Dinghy sailing activity has been curtailed over the last week or so whilst improvements are made to the dinghy and car park. VolkerStevin (who are carrying out the works on the River Rother near Rye) have kindly donated a substantial amount of aggregate to help raise the ground level giving protection against flooding during high tides. It’s taken a while to coral volunteers, engineering plant, delivery of the aggregate and purchase of the Environmental Licence but we are getting there.

Stage 1 is complete, Stage 2 takes place this week.

Rye Harbour Sailing Club is situated on the River Rother a short sail from Rye Bay. This has the advantage of being able to sail on the river if it becomes too windy for the Bay. As a working harbour we have to give way to commercial shipping as it makes its way too/from the Wharf upriver of the club. It is quite a sight watching the shipping as it make its way serenely downriver.

Each year the RYA encourages sailing clubs to open their doors to the public to encourage them to ‘have a go’ at sailing. Yesterday, 27 June, Rye Harbour Sailing Club ran its ‘Discover Sailing’ event. Despite overnight storms and heavy rain followed by very light winds early on, the conditions turned out to be near perfect to take out novice sailors into Rye Bay. The event was capped off by a BBQ and bar being opened to the public with club members and passers by availing themselves of refreshments on a warm summer’s day.
