Nestled at the edge of the beautiful Southfield Reservoir near Snaith, East Yorkshire, Beaver Sailing Club offers a welcoming, family-friendly environment for dinghy sailors of all ages and experience levels. Whether you’re a complete beginner looking to learn the ropes or an experienced sailor seeking a vibrant and active club, Beaver SC has something to offer. With over 60 years of history, our club is proud of its strong sense of community and volunteer-led ethos. We offer year-round sailing opportunities, a packed racing calendar, regular training sessions, and an inclusive environment that encourages participation at every level. Our members range from juniors just starting out to seasoned sailors competing nationally. Beaver SC supports a wide range of fleets including Streaker, Laser, RS Tera, RS 300, RS 400, Topper, and handicap fleets. We also welcome other classes such as Mirror, Bahia, Xenon, Pico, and catamarans. Paddleboarding and windsurfing are also popular on our waters, and many members enjoy casual sailing alongside racing. For junior members, we have a thriving youth scene with structured training and fun activities designed to develop confidence and independence on the water. We are a recognised RYA Training Centre, delivering high-quality instruction in dinghy sailing and powerboating, led by qualified instructors in a safe and supportive environment. From adult beginners to junior courses and improver sessions, we’re passionate about helping people develop their skills and love for the sport. Our training programme runs alongside regular social sailing and club racing, with opportunities to progress from novice to confident racer. Many of our members volunteer as instructors or safety crew, making it a true team effort. Our well-equipped clubhouse provides changing facilities, a galley kitchen, and a large social area overlooking the reservoir. The club also has a secure boat park and easy launching facilities. Members can store their own boats on site, and we offer memberships at affordable rates. What sets Beaver SC apart is our warm and inclusive atmosphere. Our members are always happy to offer help, advice, or a hand with rigging a boat. Social events, camping weekends, BBQs, and regattas are a key part of the club calendar, making it a great place to meet new friends and get involved. Whether you’re interested in learning to sail, improving your skills, racing, or just enjoying time on the water, Beaver Sailing Club welcomes you.
