Papercourt Sailing Club - RYA Champion Club - Good sailing for all the family

Papercourt Sailing Club is extremely friendly and inclusive. It is run by the members for the members. We provide first class facilities and a wonderful, safe environment in which to learn and sail.

We sail on our own 45 acre lake which is easily accessible near to junction 10 of the M25 and the A3 at Ripley in Surrey. Download a copy of our brochure here.

You can learn to sail here in our vibrant youth programme, which has over 150 children, our adult training programme, or enjoy our racing, which runs all year round. You can join the Club as a non-sailing individual or family, without owning a boat, learn to sail at very reasonable cost, make loads of friends, and get friendly advice about which boat to buy.

A team of three boats from Papercourt recently took part in the 71st Firefly Nationals at Felixstowe Ferry Sailing Club, in winds sometimes exceeding 25 knots. All three boats were crewed by 12 year olds or younger from the Club’s Youth Section – the three youngest crews in the regatta! In a very competitive fleet Ed and Sophie Smith came 4th overall, Will and Polly Mason were 9th, and Jason and Toby Aldous were 13th.

Papercourt Adopts the Scow

28th June 2017 by Papercourt Webmaster

Papercourt has adopted the Scow as a supported class. The Scow was originally designed as a tender in the late 19th century but is now sailed competitively as a dinghy. Built in modern materials it is expected to be a natural progression for the Club’s ageing Solo sailors (or any ageing sailor). It can also be sailed as a parent/child starter boat.
