For students with dinghy experience and a keen interest in racing, we sail competitively on a regular basis against other universities across the north and the midlands.
We have two teams. Our intro to team racing session is held at the beginning of each academic year. Our teams train regularly on the water in our fleet of fireflys. Training takes place on Weekends or Wednesdays, alongside theory sessions throughout the term.
The team racing competitions always promise to be a great weekend away. They have excellent socials on the Friday and Saturday nights in the host city and there is always some top quality sailing on the weekends.
Events we attend every academic year, as well as hosting our own, the Sheffield Shuffle, include
Howler (Leeds/York)
Angel of the North (Newcastle/Durham)
BUCS Qualifiers
Nottingham Snakebite
Big Lash (Liverpool/Manchester)
Sheffield Varsity
