Welcome
Rollesby Broad Sailing Club

Rollesby Broad Sailing Club is the only club in the Broads area offering sailing 52weeks of the year and welcomes any new members, whether you are an expert sailor or a complete novice. Young or Old! We have a wide range of dinghy classes including:- Moth, Enterprise, Laser, Mirror, Optimist, Phantom, Topper, Solo, Wayfarer, Wanderer. The club also has a selection of boats available for members to hire
Sailing takes place on Rollesby Broad which is not accessible by boat from the rest of the broads network. This makes for a safe and quiet sailing environment away from the humdrum of the rest of the Broads and hire boat fraternity. There is a large grassed area in front of the clubhouse ideal for watching activities on the water, relax and chat with friends, have a bite to eat, or even to top up your tan on hot days when the sun has more power than the wind.
With two interlocking broads to discover, members who do not wish to race can enjoy pottering or cruising around the broads, or even sailing down to the Eels Foot Pub for some refreshment. In fact our broads are so peaceful, as they are free from motorised holiday cruiser traffic, that they provide habitats for many interesting species of birds.
Berths are available for dinghies, with the heaviest and most frequently used closest to the water.
The Clubhouse
Our clubhouse overlooks the water at the northern end of the Broad. The ground floor has a soft furnished lounge area, galley, and wet seating area. This area extends back to incorporate male and female toilets, hot showers, and changing areas. Over-spill changing rooms are also available. The Race Officers box sits above the clubhouse allowing a clear view over the broad.
