Upper Thames Sailing Club
UTSC is a dinghy racing club. It is also a recognised RYA Training Centre and can provide basic training occasionally. New members wishing to sail are recommended to undertake an RYA Level 1 course at a specialist training centre. Bisham Abbey Sailing School is located nearby and is well equipped to provide basic training.
Once someone has completed basic training then we welcome them to join and participate fully in the racing we provide.
We sail 5 main Classes of dinghy:
Fireflies
Merlin Rockets
14s
Wayfarers
Oks
Handicap - for those who have boats other than the above.
Races take place between mid-March and New Years Day on Sundays. In the summer months racing is also possible on Wednesday evenings. Open meetings for all classes take place on designated weekends.
Bourne End Week, Junior Bourne End Week and the Club Championships are all major events and can be seen on our racing programme.
