“Try Sailing” Day – Saturday 17 May

Ever thought of trying sailing as a sport? Sailed in the past and now thinking of picking it up again?
Then come down to Redesmere for our Open Day. 10am to 4.30pm on Saturday 17 May. All welcome.
Boats will be available for taster sessions with experienced sailors to take you out.  No need to worry about kit and equipment - just bring old trainers, spare clothes and a towel.
Can’t make it on that day? Feel free to drop in one Sunday or, better still, on one of our Saturday Social Sailing afternoons – check the calendar for dates.
Redesmere Sailing Club is on A34 near Capesthorne Hall, Macclesfield. Click on the “Find us” link at the foot of this page for more detailed directions.
