As a member of SYSC you may sail on More Hall Reservoir at any time. The only restriction is that you must meet all safety requirements, including safety boat cover, while you are sailing.

Most of our sailing at SYSC takes place as part of an established programme of races and safety cover is provided at these times on a rota basis.

We enjoy our racing without taking it too seriously! There is keen but friendly competition, winners are congratulated and losers are just as likely to be offered advice or at least commiseration. This makes for a relaxed and friendly atmosphere which suits us and is ideal for families, youngsters and those new to racing a sail boat.

Two classes of dinghy make up the majority of our fleet, Streakers (single handed) and Mirrors (sailed both single and/or double handed). SYSC is proud to be home to what is probably the largest Streaker fleet in the UK. There are several very actively sailed GP14’s and the club has it’s own GP which is available for the use of members and guests. Also represented are Toppers, Enterprises and a recent addition is a Laser 13. You are welcome to sail your own boat, whatever the class.

The regular racing programme is divided up into various series of races to cover different types of racing, times of year and likely weather conditions. They take place on Sunday afternoons (12.30 start) from Easter through to the end of November and on Wednesday evenings (6.30 start) from May to early September when there is sufficient daylight. Trophies for the various Series are awarded at the annual, end-of-season Laying-Up Supper.

In addition there are various ‘one-off’ events through the year, usually on Bank Holidays and almost always including a social event such as a barbecue.
