About us.
Based in Prestatyn on the lovely North Wales coast, the sailing club was formed over 40 years ago(1969) on land leased from the local authority. The club itself, with its own compound was built and created by its members, who continue to remain dedicated and active in repair, maintenance and improvement.
A newly negotiated lease means that we can continue to operate and provide a top
Amenity for a range of water enthusiasts who live both locally and in surrounding areas
Which include Anglesey, Merseyside, Chester, Warrington and as far as Stoke on Trent.
We have 3 large and modern four wheeled drive tractors which enable us to launch and retrieve our craft at virtually any state of the tide.
The present membership consists of power and fishing boats, some sailing enthusiasts, jetskis and a social membership who just enjoy the surroundings and club amenities.
We carefully control our ratios of the various watercraft and all water members have to show a proven comprehensive insurance for the craft they operate.
We are unable to launch or recover craft over 20ft in length or commercial craft. We have access to a local under cover storage yard approx 10 minutes from the club house this is priced at a special rate per month for our members if required.
Our financial year begins on January 1st and applications for new memberships are independently considered.
As previously stated, our overall membership levels are carefully controlled to enable the club to handle craft quickly and efficiently on lovely summer days and the various days during the year when we have fishing fun days etc and there are numbers of craft using the facilities.
We are a growing club and will welcome new members with open arms with over 140 members in the 2009 season its a very friendly atmosphere all year round
We are open to new members from the 29th Jan 2010 if any one is interested in joining the club we have a meeting on above date from 8pm onwards
yearly subs for new members for the 2010 season are £100 subs and a one of joining fee of £50
Cameras are up and running so you can view the sea conditions before you leave home
