We are “One Club” offering a wide range of water based and social activities in a restricted environment. Where Club activities may conflict with each other they are scheduled for different times. There is no place in this club for those wishing to create separate, autonomous organisations, nor those claiming exclusive rights over and above any other legitimate activity of the club.

Gresford Sailing Club is affiliated to Royal Yachting Association (RYA) and the Model Yacht Association (MYA) (which is also affiliated to the RYA). Gresford Sailing Club implements the RYA Racing Charter (also adopted by the MYA) and members are expected to sail in compliance with it.
