Yaverland Sailing and Boating Club is based on the Southern side of the Isle of Wight. It is almost right on the beach on the Eastern end of Sandown Bay, which shelters boats from the English Channel. Find out more...

As the name suggests, the Yaverland Sailing and Boating Club is not only home to sailing boats. Our Members own a huge variety of water craft including Ocean Kayaks, Jet Skis and Seadoos (Find out more...), small motorised fishing boats (Find out more...) as well as a large selection of mono and multi-hull sailing craft. Although these are predominately Laser there are a few others including a small selection of Hobie boats. Find out more...

Our Members are extremely friendly and always willing to lend a hand if another Member needs help. The Club owns several tractors that are used to take boats to and from the beach. The Club has separate changing and shower areas for men and women and a large Sail store. All our facilities are on the ground floor with parking very close to the main facilities so are accessable by disabled people. Other Club facilities include a bar and function room that is available for hire. We have an extensive Social calendar with event being organised during the Spring, Summer and Autumn seasons. (Find out more...) Although the Club has a very large membership it is run by a very small number of dedicated volunteers so we are always on the lookout for more volunteers. If you want to help put something back into the Club why not talk to one of the Committee Members.Find out more...

Beginners are very welcome and well catered for. You don't even have to own your own boat or equipment to start learning. The Club owns 5 Laser Picos for teaching beginners to Sail. Also, many of our Members are trained to instructor level and help out during the Beginners Sessions. Find out more...

It's the little things that really make the Club stand out. For instance, there is a water tank for testing outboard motors, a large parking and trailer storage area and with such a large membership there is no shortage of eager hands to help you bring your boat up the slipway.

In 2011 the Isle of Wight is playing host to the Natwest Island Games. Since the first Island Games in 1985, which were held in the Isle of Man, they have been held every two years. The Island Games have grown in popularity and in stature. The Guernsey Games in 2003 had over 2,000 competitors and with the support of NatWest offshore received extensive media coverage. The YSBC premises will be taking an active part in the Sailing and Windsurfing events and as we get closer to the even we will post more information on our website. Find out more....
