NORTH WALES CRUISING CLUB Ltd
Lower High St Conwy LL32 8AL Multimap Directions Tel: 01492 593481 Steward Lesley Rowley |
The North Wales Cruising Club was founded in 1928 for yachtsmen who enjoyed the pleasures of sailing to the beautiful anchorages and marinas of Anglesey and the Irish Sea, as opposed to racing, and is one of the most active Clubs in the North Wales region. Our fleet consists of around 130 vessels, from small to large,and includes both yachts and motor cruisers. Sailing events are arranged on a regular basis, including weekend trips to the Menai Straits and around Anglesey, and longer ones which take advantage of the extensive sailing area to the Isle of Man, Ireland and the west coast of Scotland.

NWCC Mediterranean Charter

Join the NWCC Mediterranean Charter 2010.A couple of wet, stormy summers, boats lying idle in the marina, club events cancelled, and now – the Big Freeze! No wonder thoughts turn to sunnier places and what better than joining our charter out there in the Mediterranean. (Yes, the Caribbean is tempting, but the Med will do for starters.) If you are interested in joining this trip, please come along to the open meeting at the ClubHouse, 1930hrs, Thursday 21 January, 2010.

RYA Courses
The Cruising Club has now become an RYA training centre and we have arranged the following RYA courses. Please be advised that due to the good value there is a huge demand for these courses and there are limited places so it is advisable to book early. A booking form can be downloaded by clicking here.
- Day Skipper - The course is designed to cover all the theory needed to navigate a yacht safely in less demanding situations. It is an ideal starting point for crew members, wives and partners who do not normally sail or navigate. The course is both interesting and enjoyable.
- Coastal Skipper/Yachtmaster Offshore - The course is a more advanced study of navigation and meteorology designed to cope with the more complex elements of making offshore passages and piloting a yacht safely using the weather to best advantage. The course is interesting, enjoyable and achievable. Students should either have already completed the RYA Dayskipper theory course or have good prior yachting experience. A sound knowledge is required of the International Regulations For The Prevention Of Collision At Sea and VHF operating procedures.
- Engine Maintenance - The course is essential for yacht owners who do not know what makes their engine tick. It looks at how it works, fuel injectors and filters, water pumps and trouble shooting when the engine will not work. Practical “hands on” an engine is part of the training
- DSC Radio Course - The course covers all aspects of operating VHF Radios effectively including the Global Maritime Distress Safety System and Digital Selective Calling. Successful completion of the course results in the issue of a VHF operators license. Students must know the phonetic alphabet prior to the course start and bring a passport photograph with them.
- First Aid - The course provides the basic information needed to deal with emergencies in a watersports environment. Sessions include dealing with personal safety, resuscitation, bleeding, broken bones and casualty management. Some practical scenarios will be covered.
- Radar - Learn to use your radar effectively.
Dates for all the courses can be viewed on the events page.
