Brand new to IOM sailing/racing and looking for a relatively local but active club in the north Wiltshire area. Must have active IOM sailing.

All advice welcome

HI Paul,

The club list is the best place to start, I know that there are clubs around Oxford, Portishead, Gloucester and Cerney Wick but not sure which boats they sail.

Thanks Darin

Thank you Colin have just sent them my registration so should be sailing in about 2 weeks.

Thank you Colin have just sent them my registration so should be sailing in about 2 weeks. I've just spoken to secretary who reports that the club has seen a large influx of members from Gloucester as thier club effectively lost thier sailing venue.

Thank you everyone. I've just had my first day sailing an IOM. Five hours of light hearted sailing with some great guys from Gloucester and the local club. Just to clarify the Gloucester club have joined the Cotswolds club to get a better sailing venue. Their club is still very active and well. They are a great bunch and made me very welcome.

I'd just like to thank the members of the Cotswold Model Yacht Club who have made me so welcome and shown me the ropes. I'm a rank beginner but have just upgraded to an ASBO form my 30 years old Sea Scamp. Thank you everyone for being so helpful. By the way the turnout week by week at the sailing club ahs been growing and we regularly see over a dozen boats on the water each week and having some great sailing.
