Blokes in Boats
​​​
​
Alex King and William Lack have been the chief organisers of Blokes in Boats during the last few seasons. We have been well supported by other Club Members
​
Our aim has been to encourage Blokes, who have little or no experience of sailing, or have not sailed for a few years, to get on the water within the safe confines of Mudeford Harbour, and to progress to joining in Club Sailing activities such as Social Sailing or eventually Club Racing.
It has been decided that for 2026 Shoresports will take over the “Beginners” Group.

“If you want to learn how to sail the right way up, Blokes in Boats is a great environment in which to get a solid start or refresher. With a great support team, and a bunch of sailors at a similar level, who do it for the fun of it and without any pressure”. Clive
“Blokes in boats. What a wonderful welcome to the club it was. I had experts teaching from zero to hero for free! All gratefully received from club members giving up their free time and knowledge with the club providing the boats. All in the price of the membership. Thank you to William and all. Can’t wait for this season.” John
“A great way to learn how to sail! Expert tuition and great fun with a happy group of sailors” Alan
