WELCOME TO THE UNIVERSITY OF LONDON SAILING CLUB (ULSC)

University of London Sailing Club prides itself on being one of the most inclusive and varied sporting clubs in the university.

The club aims to provide an inexpensive way to give students the opportunity to begin sailing, or to continue sailing regularly while studying.   Students of all levels are very welcome to come along and join us.   We even have spare buoyancy aids for those first timers who want to come and give it a try!

ULSC is based at BTYC Sailsports and sails on the Welsh Harp Reservoir (near Brent Cross in NW London) which offers an ideal sheltered environment for sailing.

We have social sailing every Wednesday afternoon from 1.30 and team training on Saturday mornings from 9.30-12.30.   We currently have 3 strong teams which compete all around the country against different universities with some notable success!   See competition dates.

ULSC has been affiliated with BTYC Sailsports since 2008 with both clubs enjoying increasing membership since the merge.   We have access to a brand new clubhouse complete with changing rooms, galley area and a bar!

The club owns 18 Firefly dinghies as well as various support craft, which are used for beginner sailing and team training.

We are extremely lucky to have such a well equipped fleet of boats making us one of the largest University Sailing Clubs in the UK.

ULSC also has one of the oldest and largest alumni groups in University sports.   Castaways, found in 1951, is a club for all ex-members of ULSC.   For many years it has been one of the UK's leading team racing clubs and organises the Foot Trophy team racing event for Fireflies at the Welsh Harp every October.
