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 Strudwick READ 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 Mancini READ 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 Clark READ 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 Grace READ 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."
