We are based on the north bank of the River Conwy in the Village of Deganwy.

We have an active COD (Conway One Design) racing fleet, which races weekly between the months of May and October.

Our cruiser fleet also races regularly during the summer months.

We have a very active social programme centred around our club house in Deganwy Village. Have  a look at the social pages for a list of events.

Feel free to drop into the clubhouse one evening if you are in the area.

Sailing Pages

The Club has three active racing fleets: the Cruiser Class, Conway One Design  Class and Squibs. Each Class is represented on the Sailing Committee.

Conway One Designs

The Conway One Design is an historic yacht designed in the 1920s specifically for the Conwy Estuary. Most of the boats are constructed of wood and are of considerable antiquity, though in recent years two fibreglass Conway O.D.s have been built from a mould owned by the Club. Racing takes place most weekends from April to October, and occasionally midweek on suitable tides. Please see Sailing Programme for details of racing. Copies of the current Sailing Instructions (2002 revision) and Course Cards are available from the Club or the Sailing Captain. Except for open events, yachts must be owned by a member of C.Y.C., N.W.C.C. or M.B.H.A. Members of recognised yacht clubs may helm as guests for a maximum of four races.

Cruiser Racing 2013

Throughout its long history Conway yacht club has had an active cruiser class. Conwy Bay with prevailing south westerly winds it is very sheltered and ideal for both cruising and racing. Racing takes place most weekends and also midweek when the tides are suitable. A variety of courses are available from about 6N.miles to 15N.miles and usually include a mix of estuary / channel sailing and long open sea legs in the bay. With a varied fleet from sports boats to large cruisers the handicapping system used is Portsmouth Yardstick, with variations for no spinnaker etc.

A series of Open Races are included in the sailing program for non-members to race with the members providing they carry the requisite insurance. Please see the link open races

Launch Service

The Club’s launch “Sior” is operated on a voluntary basis at race times. Its primary function is to serve as a guard boat during racing (Conway OD Class only), and for the purpose of transporting members to and from their boats. Launch services may be available at other times by prior arrangement with the Guard Boat Commander.

Launch Safety

No more than 12 persons are permitted on the launch at any one time. Please do not ask the Guard Boat Commander to exceed this limit. Members are advised to supply and wear personal buoyancy when on board. Small children will not be allowed on the launch unless wearing adequate buoyancy aids. Passengers should remain seated at all times and obey the instructions of the Guard Boat Commander.
