 About the Club

The Club was founded in 2008 to further interest in sailing amongst alumni of the school.  We are an informal, mixed ability club with room for all levels of sailing and social expertise.  We welcome new members.  Please email the Secretary, David Richards for details.

 Sailing Events

We hold two main events each year: the Boarding Schools Sailng Association Arrow Trophy takes place at Cowes every October.  Raced in the Sunfast 37 fleet, with up to 26 boats on the start line for seven races over the two days, this is an exciting event with a convivial dinner on the Saturday night.  We usually enter two crews and in 2009 our A Crew came away with a splendid silver trophy - the Charterhouse Bowl. We always welcome new crew members.  Contact:  David Richards 

As well as the Arrow Trophy we aim to arrange at least one other sailing event each year - and more if there is demand.  In May 2010 we held a most successful one-day regatta at the Queen Mary Reservoir with five J80 one designs taking part in six short races with a barbecue to finish.
