- Joy of Sailing
Sutton Mariners Sailing Club is based in Sutton, Surrey and is designed for boating enthusiasts. Sutton Mariners was formed in 1988 by some 12 people with an interest in all forms of boating – from dinghy sailing to cruising both power and sail. These each contributed £5 to get the club off the ground.
The aim of the club is to promote & facilitate the sport of boating, both sail & power, to provide for the study of seamanship and to provide social and other facilities whenever possible.
The club is in the forth decade of its life and has members who come to club nights to learn about things boating and enjoy talks covering a wide range of interest to the sailor. We also have members living in various parts of the country that enjoy meeting up on the sailing rallies that are organised throughout the summer. These normally take place in the Solent and Isle of Wight area or occasionally further along the coast or across the Channel to France and Channel Islands. We have some members that have taken their boats and live abroad but continue to be members and visit us whenever they return home.
Weekly meetings take place on Thursday evenings starting at 20.00 until approximately 22.00. The club currently meets at the in VBS Community Stadium, Gander Green Lane, Sutton, Surrey. SM1 2EY, home of Sutton United Football Club, unless stated otherwise in the events calendar. (What 3 words – shorts.skin.mute). We are 200 yards from West Sutton Railway Station and on the 413 (TFL) bus route. Visitors and prospective members are very welcome to come and visit us on any club night. We have a variety of presentations from club and guest speakers every week. There is a licenced bar and tea making facilities are available. We also offer a very full list of events, social activities and visits to places of interest to the members.
