Location
Ely sailing club is based at the Roswell pits near the centre of Ely. We have over 40 acres of attractive fresh water available to sail on. With small islands, trees and banks, the sailing is always interesting and challenging. Crews are able to sail without getting their feet wet. We have dry launching and boarding directly from jetties. We are an RYA affiliated club and meet the safety and management criteria required. We have also been awarded Volvo championship club status for our race training.
