Sailing

Pentewan Sands Sailing Club PSSC is a not for profit membership club that is affiliated to the RYA. Racing is dominated by catamarans with the largest fleet being the Dart 18. We welcome all sailing craft and have several members with kayaks and windsurfers. Membership will provide you with vehicular access to the beach.

Racing is generally on Sunday with the first race at 11:00am, and on Tuesday evenings when the first race is at 18:00.

We run RYA dinghy and powerboat courses for club members with the emphasis on growing and sustaining the sport and attracting membership to the club, rather than as a commercial activity. All our instructors and assistants are volunteers.

The beach provides a safe launch in all conditions apart from strong east or south east winds when the swell can be large. These conditions convert the beach into one of the best kite surfing locations in the area.

We are proud that PSSC is a recognised RYA teaching establishment and have a valued group of experienced instructors and senior instructors. Who work closely with our safety boat crews to provide a safe and enjoyable atmosphere in which people can learn to sail.

This year we are pleased to have a commercial school operating on our site in partnership with us. A link will be posted here to their website when launched. PSSC will continue to provide multihull training and powerboat training to members.

Once again we have a full and varied race program for the new season. As well as the normal series of races, the program includes regattas, long distance races and the famous club champion helm competition, something to appeal to every sailor.
