 What our members are saying…

The more I sail the more determined I am to keep sailing. I am super thankful to have found PPYC when I did. Even though I didn't have a boat, experience or even the right clothing, the egalitarian nature of this particular club ensured that I was made welcome. The generosity of the more experienced sailors in sharing their knowledge has meant great conversations after sailing in the club rooms.

I totally recommend my club to anyone who has ever thought they might want to sail.
