The club was started in 1936 by local fishermen who liked to race their boats. These down-to-Earth local beginnings are still reflected today in the character of the club. Our membership is open to everyone with an appropriate interest, has always had a very local base and consists of people with a shared enthusiasm for sailing in the Bay, or an interest in other water-sports such as wind-surfing, sub-aqua diving or power-boating.
You don't need to own a boat or be an active sailor to join the club, novices and social members are welcome too. Families are particularly welcome, with family membership available to parents and their kids. After all kids are the future of this fantastic sport. SAILING, FOR MANY GOOD REASONS, tends to be regarded by many as a complicated and expensive pastime.

Morecambe Sailing Club is a Royal Yachting Association (RYA) Recognised Training Centre with a waterbase on Morecambe Bay. We are subject to annual inspections and re-certification. We run various approved RYA certificate courses, primarily to teach new members how to sail, and then to develop their skills and confidence.
The Sailing Club is a participant in the RYA Sailability Scheme and is endeavouring to develop further the opportunity for people with a disability, that would normally exclude them from sailing, to join in the Club activities. We are currently seeking assistance in the provision of suitable training dinghies, equipment, more instructors and assistants.
Most sailing for members takes place on the tidal waters of Morecambe Bay from 2 slipways projecting out from the promenade by our prominent race office. This all across the road from the Town Hall. The Clubhouse is close by on Back Calton Street with the dinghy compound at the far end of that street.

A nice sailing club house. Beers are actually reasonably priced and the food is nice. They have a couple of function rooms that are worth a look to hire for a party. Hmm nearly forgot to mention that they have a little coffee shop downstairs too, with nice Victoria coffee and good sandwiches, but I got a snag roll form here and they just wacked it in the microwave for 3mins.. it was awful.. otherwise a nice club. Solid four stars.
