WELCOME TO SOUTHWOLD SAILING CLUB

 WE HAVE A PROBLEM!

Our slipway has been a vital resource since the early 80s and has been the backbone of providing easy access to our waters. It was installed by the passionate and dedicated members of our club and has lasted for 45 years.

Over the last 15 years it has slowly broken up revealing big cracks and steep drops which has become a major problem.

Earlier this year we spent £7,000 removing the bottom 2 bays of concrete.  We need to install sheet piling around the perimeter of the slipway and fill with concrete. This will cost about £80,000.

Our fundraising started with the fantastic Harbour Festival in July, and now we’re kicking off our crowdfunding at our August Regatta.

Please visit the crowdfunding website for more information and to donate for rewards!
