Welcome to Brighton Sailing Club.
Nestled on the vibrant south coast of England, Brighton Sailing Club is more than just a dinghy sailing club—it’s a spirited community of sailors who share a love for the sea, the wind, and the camaraderie that comes with it.
​
From our base on Brighton Beach, we sail and race a lively mix of monohulls and catamarans in the sparkling waters between the city’s iconic piers. Our facilities are designed with sailors in mind: a beachside boat park, secure storage for your gear, and changing rooms to freshen up after a day on the water. And then there’s our members’ bar—a cozy spot on the Lower Promenade where stories are swapped and friendships are forged, all while soaking in spectacular sea views.​​
We're powered by the dedication of our members. As a community-run, amateur sports club, every hoisted sail and successful event is the result of shared effort and passion. Whether you’re an experienced sailor or an old hand returning to the helm, we’re here to keep you connected to the water and each other.
When We Sail
At Brighton Sailing Club, the sailing season runs from April to October, but the fun doesn’t stop when the weather cools.
Experienced sailors are welcome to join year-round, as our off-season is packed with social events and planning for the adventures ahead—camping trips, regattas, and sailing tournaments that keep our community vibrant and connected.

What We Sail​
​
Members can sail their own boats, hire one from the club’s fleet, or crew for helms of two-handed sailboats. While we’re at full capacity for new boats in our beachside boat park, many members find second-hand boats already stationed here—a great way to dive into the action.
​
Whether it’s the thrill of a Sunday race or the joy of a casual sail followed by good company, Brighton Sailing Club offers something for everyone, all year long.
