TESTIMONIALS“Drawn to the club by a friend and taken sailing with many of his chums I have enjoyed lots of sailing and made new friends. I brought friends along for trips and a number are now sailing as skippers in their own right. The boat is very well maintained and the routines are simple to follow and quickly become part of the experience. A peaceful evening on Eagle in Newtown Creek in September when it’s quiet, apart from the birds, What’s not to like." Graham StrudwickREAD MORE TESTIMONIALS

TESTIMONIALS“I learnt to sail through Spread Eagle Sailing Club 7 years ago. I joined as a complete beginner, so I signed up for the club activities either by myself or with my family. I started with the ‘Easy Going’ weekends and now continue to be inspired by those who skipper and attend the Masterclass weekends where I am surrounded by years of knowledge and experience. Along with RYA exams I am now a Coastal Skipper, hold a ‘B’ ticket with the club and skipper the Ladies Weekends for the club which last year consisted of a two hour prosecco lunch break anchored off West Wittering Beach on a hot summers day. The club has enabled me to be able to warm water sail in Greece with my family and in Croatia this year with other club members who are now friends. Everyone I have sailed with has been eager to teach, friendly and fun and I enjoy everyday with them on the water.” Jane ManciniREAD MORE TESTIMONIALS

TESTIMONIALS“I joined SESC about 15 years ago and it remains one of the best decisions I’ve made. I did my Competent Crew on my first trip and in 2005 did my RYA Day Skipper and got my “Club Ticket” to skipper the boat! This gave me the confidence to bare boat charter in the Med and to encourage friends to join, a number who went on to become skippers themselves. If you want to join a sailing club, experienced or not....- look no further… join Spread Eagle Sailing Club now!” Charles ClarkREAD MORE TESTIMONIALS

TESTIMONIALS“In May 2001 I and another member Charles Clark joined SESC, we spent a week under the tutelage of Jim Crick, a club skipper, at the end of which we were awarded “C” class SESC skippers tickets. Now 18 years later I regularly use the SESC boat Eagle, because it represents such great value. You'll never get sailing, organised club training and events as low cost as this anywhere else! I feel really lucky to have been steered in the direction of SESC and in particular Jim Crick - an excellent club skipper. SESC has been a large part of my sailing career and our club is outstanding value. If you are reading this and want to get out on the water more, or want to get qualified then don’t wait - Carpe Diem - grasp the day, because tomorrow sometimes doesn't come. Get in touch with Andy Morrill our commodore or Ian Hyde our events organiser, and get sailing!” John GraceREAD MORE TESTIMONIALS

TESTIMONIALS“Spread Eagle Sailing Club represents an opportunity to pursue an interest in sailing without the hassle of owning a boat, and in great company. The booking process is straightforward, availability has never been a problem, and it represents very good value for money. “Eagle” is well maintained, and treated with care by all who use her. She is comfortable and extremely well equipped. The Club cruises and tutorials are excellent. The Club is suitable for experienced skippers and novices alike, and offers the chance to learn in a safe, encouraging environment. I would thoroughly recommend the Club."
