YORK SAILING CLUB 

York Sailing Club promotes and facilitates community participation in sport and healthy recreation by providing facilities for sailing and other water-based activities, primarily but not exclusively for those resident in York and surrounding areas. We sail on the River Ouse at Bishopthorpe, 5 km south of York city centre, and also take part in sailing activities elsewhere in Britain and Ireland.

Financial issues to consider:
