You may be aware that the club has refurbished and improved the slipway at the wharf to allow larger boats to dry out, or 'neap out', for under-the-waterline chores.

If you wish to neap out for extended work then we suggest you do so at the end of a set of spring tides to give space for those who just want to anti-foul or change anodes etc between tides!

You then have the time between springs, or we can move you about to allow access if you need even longer!

You must notify any member of the moorings committee prior to using any of our growing set of facilities. This avoids agro and disappointment for another member who may have taken time from work!!!!

Welcome to our website!

To find the Clubhouse, use BS23 4XU on Google maps - it's near enough (at the moment.) If you've visited to look at our membership options and costs, please navigate to the Membership page. If you are looking for that handy little diagram on laying a mooring, navigate to Mooring Information.

Founded in 1933, the club aims to serve all Weston Bay's wind and water users, be that as a sailor, windsurfer, canoeist, land sailor, jet skier, kite flyer or whatever it is you want to do. We also have a social section for those who prefer the indoors!

This year sees two extraordinary events at the club. Andy Press is planning an around the world non-stop challenge to celebrate the dream of the 1968 Golden Globe race, while Andy Carnegie is sailing around Britain with the Navigators of Faith venture.

In the recently refurbished Clubhouse we have changing rooms with hot showers, as well as our bar and lounge and fully equipped kitchen - or galley if you prefer.

We offer very cost effective mooring space along the River Axe for approximately 100 yachts. We don't think there can be many places to operate a boat from in the UK that are as cheap as our facilities. We also have a training room for holding our RYA approved courses.

We really hope you'll find a home for yourself as well as your boat at our club - we're looking forward to meeting you! You are most welcome to visit us on any Friday night from around 20:00, to sample our bar, meet the inmates, and have a chat with us about the club.

Meanwhile, please feel free to browse our site to find about the club, as well as some useful information about the local conditions.

Andy's Dream

To sail non-stop solo around the world in honour of the 9 people who first attempted it 50 years ago with the Golden Globe race, and to raise awareness of these people and hopefully inspire others to chase their own dreams.
