London Corinthian Sailing Club Holding Open Day

---

Your chance to find out about sailing the high seas....just down the High Street

If you’ve ever wanted to find out about sailing, but never quite made it, then now’s your chance. Local sailing club, the London Corinthians, are holding their season kick off barbeque and open day on 3 April between 11am and 4pm. So if you’re planning a stroll along the river, then why not drop by, watch the sailing on the river and enjoy the barbeque while finding out more.

The London Corinthians Sailing Club, which is situated on the border between Hammersmith and Chiswick, is one of the area’s longest established clubs. It has over 400 members who sail all year round – rain or shine – from their historic clubhouse on the Upper Mall along the north bank of the river. It’s a perfect spot for setting off onto the superb stretch of the Thames between Hammersmith and Barnes.

Apart from sailing on the Thames, the club also sail on yachts along the South Coast and all around the World including the Med, the Caribbean, Thailand, Canada and the Seychelles. What’s more, the London Corinthians are a totally non-profit, members run club, with a history going back over 100 years.

Throughout that time, the one constant has been the club’s desire to encourage sailing. And they don’t mind whether you’re a total beginner or an experienced hand...they just love to get people out in boats. Most weekends will see the club going for a fun sail up and down the river, taking part in a hard- fought dinghy race next to Chiswick Eyot, or taking a yacht across the Solent to the Isle of Wight. The club are also a recognised RYA (Royal Yacht Association) Training Centre, and offer a variety of sailing courses to both members and non-members.

The open day is a great opportunity to see if sailing’s for you, while relaxing and watching the boats go by. Just come along, join the rest of the members and tuck into the club’s open day barbeque (£5 to cover costs).

London Corinthians Sailing Club is based on the on the North Bank of the River Thames between Hammersmith and Chiswick at Linden House, 60 Upper Mall - and is in a clubhouse that’s worth the visit alone. It’s a Grade II listed Georgian riverside mansion, and the Georgian façade and dramatic river views are truly a wedding photographer’s dream.

To find out more about the open day, contact the Membership Secretary Matt Wright on admin@lcsc.org.uk or ring the club office on 020 8748 3280.
