Sailing
Southport Yacht Club is host to a very active sailing community. The Sailing Office at 1 Marina Crescent, Hollywell is responsible for a range of programs from our Learn to Sail programs for children and adults, sailing camps for children and junior and youth training programs, through to the operation of our club divisions. While our junior and youth program has produced a wealth of talented sailors who perform well at national and international regattas, a great strength of the Southport Yacht Club program is that it offers a range of different opportunities to all levels of sailors.
