Sailing for the North East
Wednesday 23rd September 2026
at Scaling Dam Watersport Club

Friends, Amis, Amigos, Amici,

We’re delighted to be able to offer a brand new venue [to us] for one of our favourite events – sailing, with the Scaling Dam Watersports Club. Gail and the crew at Sailability are waiting to welcome us on Wednesday 23rd September at 11.00am.

Scaling Dam Watersports Club is situated just off on the A171 some 19 miles south east of Middlesborough.

They have a variety of boats for you to experience the joy, the fun, the exhilaration of sailing with their fleet comprising Challengers and Access dinghies.

So complete novices and never-evers are more than welcome! And for more experienced sailors there’s a range of other boats also available.

There’s a fully accessible clubhouse and changing room facility. Hoists are available (if needed) for easier access to the boats.

Don’t worry if you haven’t tried sailing before, there will be plenty of hands-on advice, guidance and instruction.

Life Jackets are of course provided, but we suggest that you bring a towel and perhaps a change of clothes – you might get wet! You don’t need special clothing, anything that is comfortable is OK. Tracksuits and trainers are ideal. But it will always feel cooler on the water, so it’s a good idea to bring an extra layer. As mentioned before a change of clothes is also not a bad idea – just in case…..

To recap on those details:
