Welcome to Ely Sailing Club

Ely Sailing Club is based at Roswell Pits in Ely, Cambridgeshire. Our club is family orientated and run by its members, for its members (we are entirely member run with no staff), with good value and enjoyment for all. We have over 35 acres of fresh water with islands, trees and banks. The sailing is interesting, challenging and fun. There is dry launching directly from jetties, and crews are able to sail without getting their feet wet. We are a recognised Royal Yachting Association (RYA) training centre providing a range of sailing courses. In addition to sailing, we run a variety of social events for members. Our key goal is to promote sailing as an enjoyable hobby in a friendly and welcoming club, open to all levels of experience & confidence.

Flag signals: the Newsletter of Ely Sailing Club September 2026

Dear all, The summer is, sadly, drawing to a close, but we've been lucky with the weather so far: hopefully that will last the rest of the season! On the racing side, we've had some great days on the water, not least with 17 boats out for Bart's Bash and then many continuing on to the start of the autumn series.
