The estuary opens out into Morecambe Bay. There are outstanding views across the estuary to the Lake District Hills. Arnside grew up as a scenic holiday resort in the nineteenth century after the opening of the railway with water- based activities as one of its attractions. The railway crosses the estuary on a viaduct above the village. \nArnside has a long sailing history. Historically the estuary was the port for Kendal. The Victorians held regattas. The village’s first Sailing Club was set up in 1857. Crossfields built Morecambe Bay Prawners and yachts in the village from the 1840s to the 1940s. Arthur Ransome’s Swallow was built in Arnside and kept on the estuary by local teenager in the 1930s. \nThe tide often comes in with a Bore. This is followed by a two-to-three-hour sailing window. Winds tend to fairly consistent compared to an inland lake especially if there is a sea breeze. Tide against wind can create exciting sailing conditions. \nThe area is good for walking. Arnside Knott\, one of the best viewpoints in the country overlooks the village and there is an excellent path along the coast. If the weather is unsuitable there are nearby historic houses and museums to visit \n \nArnside Sailing Club \nThe current Arnside Sailing Club was set up in 1958. It has around 300 members including partners and children. The Club offers sailing\, paddleboarding and kayak. It is affiliated to both the RYA and Paddle UK and is a RYA Training Centre at Killington near Sedbergh. The Clubhouse is in a historic customs bonded warehouse on the Promenade is used for live music. \nFor more info www.arnsidesailingclub.co.uk \nCrewing Opportunities \nIf you do not plan bringing your own boat there might be crewing opportunities\, so do get in touch.. \nPrice £20 per person for the weekend \nBooking is via Arnside Sailing Club’s booking site \nhttps://widget.eola.co/1222/activities/arnside-wanderer-dinghy-event \nFor more information \nContact alasdairsimpson@arnsidesailingclub.org.uk URL:https://www.wanderer.org.uk/event/racing-and-cruising-from-arnside-cumbria/ LOCATION:Arnside SC\, 17 The Promenade\, Arnside\, Cumbria\, LA5 0HD\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Cruise,Race ORGANIZER;CN="Alasdair Simpson":MAILTO:alasdairsimpson2@gmail.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20260314 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20260316 DTSTAMP:20260523T131057 CREATED:20260131T095957Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260131T095957Z UID:7873-1773446400-1773619199@www.wanderer.org.uk SUMMARY:Wanderer Open at Dachet DESCRIPTION:The Wanderer Open will be held at Dachet Water SC on Saturday/Sunday 14/15 March. \nFull details can be found in the following link to the website which includes the Notice of Race\, Sailing Instructions\, and booking details.  https://www.dwsc.co.uk/event/wayfarer-open-3 \nWayfarers will also be racing those days. \nPlease also note the offer from Dachet Water SC to join in other winter races up to the Wanderer/Wayfarer weekend. \nWWUp 2026 poster \nWWUp 2026 poster URL:https://www.wanderer.org.uk/event/wanderer-open-at-dachet/ LOCATION:Datchet Water SC\, Queen Mother Reservoir Horton Road\, Horton\, Berkshire\, SL3 9NT\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Race ORGANIZER;CN="David Bardwell":MAILTO:david.bardwell01@outlook.com END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20250808 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20250811 DTSTAMP:20260523T131057 CREATED:20250306T142729Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250414T133630Z UID:7085-1754611200-1754870399@www.wanderer.org.uk SUMMARY:Wanderer Scottish Open Championship at Cramond Boat Club Edinburgh DESCRIPTION:  \nInaugural Scottish Open Championship and Cruising Event 8th-10th August 2025 \n\n\nThis will be the first ever Wanderer race event to be organised in Scotland and at Edinburgh on tidal waters\, thanks to Leonie Griffin at her home club.

The village is located in Cumbria on the scenic Kent Estuary south of Kendal. There are view across the estuary to the Lake District Fells. \nWith a wide south west facing estuary\, Arnside is a great place to sail. Winds tend to be stronger but more constant than on an inland water. A sea breeze may develop around midday. Tide against wind can result in exciting sailing conditions.  The village has a long history of sailing. The estuary was the port for Kendal. The village’s first sailing club was set up in 1852.  Arthur Ransome’s Swallow was built in the village and later kept on the estuary by a local teenager. Another of Arthur’s boat Coch-y-bonddhu was used to teaching sailing at a prep school on the sea front. \nOverlooked by Arnside Knott\, at 522 feet high the country’s lowest Marilyn\, the village lies in the Arnside Silverdale Area of Natural Beauty at top end of Morecambe Bay. The area is characterised by low wooded limestone hills interspersed with flower rich meadows\, making for good walking. Arnside Knott is one of the best sites for butterflies in the North of England. \nArnside developed as a gentile holiday resort after the arrival of the railway in 1857\, which crosses the estuary on a viaduct 552 yards long. Sirens warn of the incoming tidal bore.  The village regularly appears in best places to live lists\, including the Sunday Times 2021 list which mentioned the friendly sailing club. There are several places to stay in village\, including Air BNB and nearby camp sites. \nThe Sailing Club increased its membership by 50% in 2020 partly as result of being able to offer training at low tide and through the introduction of paddle board. The Club owns a Wanderer and a Wayfarer. There is another Wanderer in club which belongs to Alasdair Simpson. Other club boats include Hartley 12s. \nDepending on the weather we hope to be able to arrange racing on one day and a cruise to Holme Island off Grange-over- Sands on the other day. Whilst there is only a two to three hour window at high tide when the water is deep enough to sail\, with distinctive landmarks on either side of the estuary it is possible to feel that you are sailing somewhere. When not sailing there will opportunities to walk along the coast\, climb Arnside Knott\, canoe or paddleboard at low tide. There should be a chance to meet in local pubs for a meal in the evening. \nOn Sunday evening there will be a concert by Luna\, a folk duo from Sunderland Point\, a village at the mouth of the River Lune\, south of Lancaster which is cut off at high tide. Luna are Jo Powell and Scotty Wilson\, a fellow Wanderer sailor. \nFor more Information and book a place please use the RSVP below. \nView of the shore from the water.

The trophy is a unique piece of stainless steel artwork depicting a Wanderer craft. \nThere is high tide racing on the Saturday followed by the legendary WYC barbecue at the side of the verandah Sunday’s cruise\, usually with a pub destination in mind\, has a good chance of viewing the increasing seal population at Horse Sand. There is even a wild rumour that free car parking might become a reality. \n\n\n\n\n \n \n \n GBTR21 NOR\n \n Posted:\n May 8\, 2021 |\n \n 0 comments \n \n \n You need to be logged in to view this content.
