Dee Sailing Club, Station Rd, Thurstaton, Wirral, CH610HN - Entries are now live

Dee now has one of the largest club Dart fleets, and is renowned for its fun party nights (ask anybody who has been). 

Dee has a tide window in which we sail, so there’s no hanging around and you ‘go’ or ‘don’t go’ at the published sailing times, which means the rest of the time can be mapped out to fit with any non-sailing members. The Wirral Way (behind the club) offers good cycling opportunities, and low tide offers walks across the sands to Hilbre Island, with the chance of seeing the local seals and newts. Or slightly further afield Cheshire Oakes designer village and Liverpool Docks might be tempting with a combination of shopping, museums and gallery choices. However, make sure you get back to Dee for their legendary parties with live music and the beam challenge!

The club is perched on the cliff top overlooking the Dee estuary and Wales beyond. The front lawn offers a great ‘balcony’ view of the racing in the estuary. Although tight on space, the club offers free on-site camping and motorhome parking (subject to the size of the travelling motorhomes fleet not getting even bigger!). For those who want slightly more room and an escape route from the club bar, there is also the Wirral Country Park Caravan and Motorhome Park, with good facilities and views which is only 400m from the club. But book early it fills up on bank holidays.  The club is well-behaved dog friendly.
