We are one of the University's biggest clubs! We run sailing and power-boating sessions every Wednesday and Saturday from the Mount Batten Centre as well as socials every Wednesday evening!

General Sailing - Run by Ed Yallop, these sessions are held throughout the year and includes a mixture of day trips, chilled out cruises and sailing out in Plymouth Sound! All are welcome and usually followed by awesome socials! https://www. youtube.com/watch?v=Hk-2JV7htH8

Fleet Racing - Organised by Richard Abendstern, we hold fleet racing training sessions and our own race series throughout the year including sending a team to the University Fleet Racing Nationals!

Team Racing - We have two team race captains (Mark Thomas and Izzy Waterfall) who run and coach our team racing squad with input from national team racing coaches! We send teams to competitions all over the country as well as competing competitively in regionals and nationals. University is the first time many people encounter team racing so we run introductory sessions at the start of the year which everyone is welcome to. - https://www. youtube.com/watch?v=PLpVAbsu4Mc& feature=youtu. be

Beginner Sessions - Organised by Ed Yallop, these are sessions to get people who have never been sailing before on the water and most importantly having awesome fun! Run once a fortnight these are great fun and followed by great socials! Progression is quick with 3 students going from complete novices in September to racing in the woman's nationals in March!

Power boating - All our sessions are organised by Ed White and these range from introductory sessions, day trips and RYA Courses. We use ribs ranging from 50 horsepower to 250 horsepower out in Plymouth Sound where there is no speed limit!
