The sites that the club members are often looking for weather information are:

–Acuweather for the weather.
–Accuweather for tides table.

Although the Club members' sailing knowledge is pretty good, we cannot know everything regarding sailing. For further information about sailing, one useful website to check is the Royal Yachting Association. This site will also show information about training, insurance, etc.
Some members have kept very good links with local clubs such as:
–Baltic Wharf
–Bristol Corinthians Yacht Club
–Bristol Sailing Association
–Chew Valley Sailing Club
–Portishead Yatching and Sailing Club
–Thornbury Sailing Club

Alternatively, you can click on UK sailing index that shows information about clubs, sailing schools, etc.

The Club members use various boats. We have tried to show all the boats in the photo gallery. However, it has not always been possible. The class association links, below, will show also useful information about the various boats at the club:
–GP14
–Laser class association
–Lightning class association. Some pictures taken at the show and some comments about the new Lightning can be found on the attached link.
–Mirror class association
–Solo class association
–Wanderer class association
–Wayfarer class association

List of the Sailing Clubs in the area can be found at the Royal Yachting Association or UK Sail.

Over the years, we have been dealing with local chandelery shops to repair or improved our boats. The list is not complete as there are a lot of shops that can provide such services:
–Force 4

In the shops, the sailing press covered wide range of sailing activities. It is difficult to list all the magazines. The Sailing Club read the magazines listed below. However, the list should not be considered as a recommendation.
–Yacht and Yachting magazine

If you are interesting to buy a boat, the three links are a good start. Whatever the site you select, it is highly recommended to see the boat prior to make an offer. Although in Ebay for example you can see picture of the boat, the pictures do not show everything. – Ebay
– Boat and outboards

To sail at the club, an insurance is required as explained on Membership Details. There are many companies that can provide such services. In addition, it is possible through the class association to have deal with insurance companies. The list below is not a recommendation:
–Craft Insurnace.
–Noble Marine.
–Newtoncrum.

The following pubs are frequented by some club members when the sailing is over
