About us
About Oxford Sailing Club
A Club for the Whole Family
Many of our members join as families and stay for years. Children learn to sail through our junior and youth programmes, while parents enjoy social sailing, racing, training, volunteering, or simply relaxing by the water. Whether everyone sails or just one member of the family takes to the water, Oxford Sailing Club offers a welcoming environment where friendships are formed and weekends are shared.
Social & Family Sailing
Enjoy time on the water together. Many members sail as families, introducing children, parents and grandparents to the sport. Whether you're exploring the reservoir, improving your skills, or sharing a boat for the first time, our friendly atmosphere makes it easy to get involved.
Family Life at Oxford Sailing Club
Oxford Sailing Club is more than just a place to sail.
On any weekend you'll find junior training on the water, parents helping launch boats, friends enjoying coffee on the clubhouse terrace, racers preparing for the next start, and families staying for a bite to eat after sailing. Many members tell us that the friendships and community are just as important as the sailing itself. From first taster sessions to youth racing, club events and volunteering opportunities, there are ways for every family member to be involved.
