Family membership allows all members of a family to sail for an entire season.

At these prices what excuse could you possibly have not to join?

Benefits

Membership gives you free access to our entire fleet of sailing craft. In addition to the club lock-up, we have a free standing area with tables and chairs, ideal for lounging and barbecue / social activities. Sailing and windsurfing regattas are often held at weekends and as a Club member you can enter Joint Services level competitions. Although not exclusively a training facility, the club occasionally offers training on a volunteer basis through our own club members for both sail and the powerboat as well as offering a course for children in the Summer Holidays.

Requirements

For specific qualification requirements, please contact our Principal or Secretary. However, those with a minimum of RYA Level 2 are ready to take a craft out today.

Where To Find Us

We are co located with the Mass en Roer yacht club in Roermond. To find us simply park in the club car park and follow the road 100M toward the waters edge directly ahead through the barrier.

Our club facility is a double garage on the right hand side next to the marquee.

The sailing season has now commenced. The Dinghies are all now on site at the Maas en Roer Club at Hatenboer, Roermond. Many thanks to Bernard Sedgwick, Brian Blake, Mark Pearce and Mike White for helping with the moves and the rigging of the boats. We have berthed the following boats at the Maas en Roer Club this year:

3x Laser Pico (Single Hander)
1x Laser 1 (Single Hander with Full and Radial Rigs)
1x Bosun (Double Hander - max 4 pax)
1x Laser Stratos (Double Hander - max 4 pax)
1x Laser 2000 (Double Hander - max 3 pax)
1x RS Vision (Double Hander - max 3 pax)
1x RS 400 (Double Hander - max 3 pax)
1x Dart 16 Catamaran (Double Hander - max 4 pax)

There is also a safety boat on site. This is for training/safety boat use only. Requests to use it are to go to Paul Jochimsen, Dan Todd or myself please.

For those who have been converted to it, the Cornish Shrimper will also shortly be on the water.

Please be aware that you cannot sail without having paid your membership fees. Fees can be paid at the RAO office Bldg 37 Grenville Road on JHQ or directly to Sgt Mark Pearce at 7 Sigs RAO on Elmpt.

As we are all rusty, there are rigging manuals in the cupboard at the garages. Anyone wanting instruction on rigging boats can contact me, Mike White or one of the other instructors. Subject to interest we will organise a rigging/introduction day. Don't forget that you need insulating tape to protect sails from damage if you are taking out the double handers.

Finally, anyone wanting training to RYA Level 1 Start Sailing and RYA Level 2 Better Sailing please contact me.
