A Club for Boaters and a Place Where There is Something for Everyone
At the Derwent Sailing Squadron, we’re united by a love of boats and the water, but what sets us apart is our community. We’re proud to be a club where people from all walks of life feel welcome. Whether you're here to sail, socialise, crew, volunteer, or just enjoy the view, the Squadron is a place where everyone belongs.
More than just a marina and a race calendar, the Squadron is a meeting place, a hub of friendship, activity, and shared experience. Members often say they came for the sailing but stayed for the people.
Our social calendar runs all year and offers something for everyone. From low-key barbecues and post-race catch-ups to themed dinners, family events, and formal nights, the atmosphere is always welcoming and relaxed.
Whether you’re fresh off the water or just dropping in to catch up with friends, the Squadron offers more than just boating, it offers belonging. The social side of club life is central to who we are.
Sailing may bring us together, but it’s the community that makes us stay. This is a club where you’ll feel at home, a place where everyone belongs.
