What we’re about
We are the land-locked Sailing Club where you can meet like-minded people, whilst listening to inspirational talks of discovery, and revolution on a nautical theme.
Come and learn how the oceans became what they are today.
Over winter, we meet at Colston Hall, Gerrards Cross, SL9 7AD, on Wednesday evenings - see gxsa.org.uk for details.
In the summer, we use our Meetup Group where we rendezvous, on Wednesday evenings, in the Bucks & Berks area to talk about the season's sailing opportunities.
If you'd like to come sailing, start by joining our Meetup Group! Join us for a chat and a drink whilst learning about great adventures!!
We look forward to meeting you...
Upcoming events (1)
See all- Gerrards Cross Sailing Association - Sailing Event - Rally to Gins FarmYarmouth Harbour, Yarmouth
Our April rally to Yarmouth, Isle of Wight, was successful and sunny, but a trifle chilly, with a strong northerly wind making the sailing conditions quite challenging.
Join us for our 2nd Rally of the summer. We're off to Gins Farm, on the River Beaulieu, Hampshire. We're looking forward to more warmth for this one!! See the event web page for details.
Dinner will be in the Royal Southampton Yacht Club restaurant, so we anticipate good food and good company.- Find a Skipper and join their boat
- Bring your own boat
- Charter a boat, and bring your own crew
- Rendezvous with your yacht, somewhere along the South Coast.
- Sail to Beaulieu.
However you come, you're bound to have fun.
Skippered places are very limited in numbers, so we have a very congested booking system, and there are several pre-conditions:
- You need to have GXSA Full Membership
- You must have attended a Meet & Greet with the GXSA Meetup Group
- You need to have been offered a place by a GXSA Skipper - OR you need to add your name to the wait-list on the GXSA website for the event.
See the GXSA Programme for more details, and to sign up to the Wait List.
Money: Whilst individual Skippers have their own perspective, we see the following approach quite commonly:
- All expenses for the weekend (eg. food, mooring, breakages) are shared equally between the crew.
- Crew members volunteer a daily contribution of £30 per person towards the upkeep of the boat.
- Dining out - Crew pay for their own food & drink, as you would on a normal evening out. Sometimes, depending on location, we need to organise a pre-paid restaurant dinner. That will become clear nearer the time.
- We always have a Pontoon Party with drinks and nibbles included in the price - usually around £10 per person.
Yacht ownership is a very expensive hobby; paying your fair share is the best way to ensure you get invited on the next trip!
We look forward to seeing you on the water !!
