Welcome

Ulley Sailing Club is a small friendly sailing club located between Rotherham and Sheffield catering for both racing and casual sailing. Families are especially welcome and the emphasis is on enjoyment - not out and out racing.

Saturdays are usually devoted to casual sailing, racing takes place on Sundays and also on Wednesday evenings from Spring to Autumn.

Ulley Sailing Club welcomes novices and experienced sailors and has a wide range of facilities including clubhouse with bar, changing rooms, showers, food, tea and coffee etc.

Located in attractive surroundings at Ulley Country Park, there are also beautiful walks, plenty of wildlife and good fishing as well as sailing.

We are easy to get to, being close to the M1 and M18, just ten minutes from Rotherham and fifteen minutes from Sheffield.

This site gives details about the club, our social and racing calendars, what is involved in joining a sailing club and the types of boat that we think are suitable for our water.

If you’ve thought about sailing but never quite got round to it, come and see us. You will always find someone willing to chat and tell you all about the club and how to get started. If you come on a Saturday, you’ll probably find someone who will take you out in a boat and show you what sailing is all about.

Our racing, is handicap racing, we don’t operate fleets but the most popular boat classes are Enterprise, Laser, Splash and Streaker. These are all good performers on our water but any class can sail. Winds at Ulley are always interesting and it’s rumoured that you can sometimes sail a whole circuit of the lake without tacking.

The Ulley Sailing Club is active throughout the year. The sailing season commences the first weekend in April and continues until the end of October. Sailing takes place on Saturdays, Sundays and Wednesday evenings. Saturdays is mainly casual sailing with 3 races usually held on a Sunday.

A sailing series - known as "The Frostbite" - is organised each Sunday during November and December for the hardy.

Ulley is proud to have Paul Goodison, the Beijing 2008 Olympic Laser Gold Medalist for Great Britain as a member. When Paul is not busy competing in competions around the world he still sails at the club.
