⛵️ Whether you used to sail, already sail, or just fancy having a go on a keelboat, you will always be made welcome and looked after by members of Rutland Civil Service Sailing Club (RCSSC).

RCSSC taster sails are tailored to guests sailing skills and experience, what you want to get out of the day and any personal needs that you want us to be aware of e.g. mobility issues.

Attendees are encouraged to take a full part in all the activities, helming, crewing etc. Or you can just sit back and enjoy your taster sail and the views – it’s your taster sail ⛵️

About the boats

We sail Keelboats - Two Squibs: 19ft long; and a Soling: 27ft long and both have a fixed keel. We tailor our sailing tasters to our guests' experience and what they want to get out of of their taster sail - from novice to experienced sailors.

We take up to two guests per boat which allows up to six guests for each taster.
