Founded in 1948 and located on the south bank of the Helford River in some of the best sailing waters in England with shore facilities and pontoons.
Extensive clubhouse, with social calendar throughout the year.
Bar and restaurant for members and all visiting yachts.
Adult sailing on Tuesday evenings.
Yacht racing on Wednesday evenings.
Dinghy racing on Thursday evenings and Sundays.
Junior sailing on Friday evenings.
New members are always welcome. Please visit our membership page. Holiday Membership forms are available from the bar and office.
The Club always extends a special welcome to families and children. We have a strong junior sailing side and one of the founding objectives of the Club was “to encourage generally messing about in boats in a seamanlike manner” With this in mind, we ask parents to be aware of the inherent dangers of being near water, cliffs and a busy car park. What may be obvious to an adult could present an immediate danger to a child. We ask parents to be responsible for their children, to take warning signs seriously and ensure that lifejackets are worn as appropriate. That said, the river gives us all, both young and old, a tremendous playground right on our doorstep. . . . Enjoy it to the full.

During these unusual times, the Committee are keen to enable you to use club dinghies at HRSC. The RYA have advised us to proceed with caution, so as a first step we have decided to make club dinghies available to the Adult Sailing Group.
It’s been great to see members starting to get back on the water and using the club terrace in spite of the clubhouse having to remain closed.
As from 5th July we are pleased to announce that the bar will be open for limited hours and we are working towards opening the restaurant for simple food. Watch this space for further details?
Now that regulations have eased somewhat, we will be able to serve drinks at the bar providing we stick to various guidelines. We apologise for the inconvenience in advance and we will continue to react to the changing situation. We would however ask members to please stick to 2m social distancing on the club premises so that staff and members, many of them not so young, feel secure.
Bar opening times from 5th July:
| Sunday: | midday– 6pm |
| Tuesday: | 6pm – 9pm |
| Wednesday: | 6pm – 9pm |
| Thursday: | 6pm – 9pm |
| Friday: | 6pm – 9pm |
We will confirm the times when food is served next week.
Again, the committee thank you for your patience over this extraordinary time with a set of rules that none of us would have imagined last summer and which are of course subject to change, so watch this space!
We look forward to seeing you at the club and on the water – stay safe.
It is with regret that HRSC has had to cancel the annual L’Aber Wrac’h race.
Owing to the Covid 19 pandemic and current UK / French Government Quarantine restrictions HRSC is unable to run the Helford to L’Aber Wrac’h 2020 Race.
The race is always a huge event in the HRSC calendar and will be sorely missed by all those who take part each year in the actual race and the social event that precedes it.
The next Helford to L’Aber Wrac’h Race will take place on 25th June 2021.
We look forward to seeing you then.

The 70 year old August Rock navigation buoy has been replaced this season by a brand new buoy, thanks to the generosity of Trinity House Charitable Trust.
It remains a starboard hand buoy and is lit green flash every 5 seconds .
Could we, the Helford River Navigational Aids Committee, who manage the buoys voluntarily, remind river users to remember all four navigation buoys are simply aids to navigation and you should be particularly careful near low water springs?

Chairman HRNAC
