Can I learn how to sail or use a motor boat?

We do not offer official accredited training. Individual members are often free with their advice, but new members are advised to seek RYA-accredited training (or similar) in Brixham or Plymouth. The same applies to canoeing or kayaking, although there are clubs in Totnes that will help.

What happens at clubhouse BBQ’s?

Once a month during the summer, the club provides an evening BBQ. Members bring their own food and cook it on the BBQ’s provided. The BBQ’ fires will be lit ready for cooking and it may be best if you bring a cooking utensil. The bar is open.
