Helford River Sailing Club is a friendly, relaxed and busy club for individuals and families who love all aspects of the water from sailing and paddle-boarding to kayaking and wild swimming. Founded in 1948, we are located on the south bank of the Helford River in some of the best sailing waters in England with shore facilities and pontoons.
Members and visitors using the Clubhouse will be met with a warm welcome from Club Steward Ollie and our friendly team. A varied menu is available from The Cornish Food Hub and the bar is stocked with a large selection of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. There are laundry facilities with washing machine and tumble dryer, and showers to freshen up after a day’s sailing.
New members are always welcome. Please visit our membership page for details. Holiday Membership forms are also available from the bar and office.
