Pin Mill Sailing Club is situated on the south bank of the beautiful River Orwell just 6 miles down river from the port of Ipswich in Suffolk (Map) with easy access to both international destinations and extensive sailing potential on our beautiful local rivers. We run sailing and social events for Members and their guests, among which is an open Regatta, the annual PMSC Barge Match and of course the annual PMSC Smacks and Working Boats Race.
Members compete flying our pennant in the combined clubs river series for either light hearted fun, or fantastic racing for the more competitive sailors among us. Pin Mill Sailing Club is affiliated to the RYA and is a member of the Harwich Area Sailing Association (HASA). We actively encourage those with an interest in waterborne pursuits to come and join our vibrant club.
