Welcome to Fidlers Ferry Sailing Club
 These pages are to give you an idea of the club, who we are,
where we are and what we have to offer. The club has three main components:
- An active dinghy racing section on the Mersey
- A yacht cruising section based at the club
- Social members who enjoy the club bar and a bit of sailing
New members of any type are always welcome and young people are made especially welcome with the
opportunity to use club equipment and qualified instructors.
 Here we play host to the West Kirby Sailing Club,
Falcon Fleet for a mid-summer regatta. Using the tides the competitors had
sailed up the Mersey from their base at New Brighton.
Everyone enjoyed the
racing and particularly the post race hospitality in our licensed club premises.
They set off at high water on the following day having made new friends and we
look forward to this becoming a regular feature of our season.
|
 Local sailing is governed largely by the tides but a powerful
winch makes it easy getting the boats in and out of the water.
It's a team effort and a good way for new members to join in and get to
know the group.
A variety of boats race here and we have a full programme of activities which
includes challenges from other clubs in the area.

The clubhouse overlooks the water and the race observation
tower maintains a nautical trend as it was originally the wheelhouse of a seagoing vessel.
A variety of sailing conditions and experiences
can be had throughout the season.
|
The start of the sailing season for the off-shore fleet.
Grey Lady followed by Ki Moon fight hard against the spring tide as
they leave Fidlers Ferry to
explore the harbours of North Wales, Scotland and Ireland.
We will see them again in September as we gather round the bar to share
all those stories of distant shores and other clubs.

Despite ranging far and wide the club forms a bond for the
cruisers and the fun of
"cruising in company" adds to their summer programme.
