I have been raised by GSC and think it's the best sailing club on the Thames. It is friendly, with a varied social and sailing programme. Their training is outstanding.
Such a friendly club for all ages. Plenty of opportunity for socialising, even for non-sailors like me, and not having a boat presents no problem as they will do their best to find crewing opportunities for you. Evening events, such as "Knowledge and Nosh" to learn about sailing and river related activities.
