The Club has a large cadet section currently running at
around 100 young people aged between 12 to 18 years. These
are both club and non-club member’s children. Cadet night,
during the sailing season, is held on Friday evenings
starting at 1730; the emphasis is concentrated on getting as
many as possible on the water. During the winter cadet
evenings are held fortnightly on Fridays with an interesting
and varied programme of events.
Dinghy racing is held on Tuesdays, throughout the season,
with the first start at 1830. There are classes for fast,
medium and slow handicaps and cadets are encouraged to take
part using either the club’s or their own boats.
Yacht racing is held on Thursday evenings, throughout the
season, with starts in IRC, PYA and PYB. The first start is
at 1800. The OODs take great care to provide the best course
for the prevailing conditions but are always mindful that
the crews also wish, at some stage, to get ashore to sample
the delights of the bar and galley!
There is a large and active cruising section which organises
a number of weekend cruises and a main summer cruise for
which there is generally much interest. The annual cruise to
our twin town of Plougastel often attracts over 15 yachts
and 60 people.
Winter Programme During the winter a full and interesting
programme of presentations, demonstrations, and purely
social events is provided on a Thursday evening commencing
at around 1945.
The Caradon Gig Club, the current World Champions, is
affiliated to Saltash Sailing Club and shares the clubhouse
and facilities.
With this brief insight into our varied activities why not
come and see us - you will always get a friendly welcome!
