What's Happening:

The JWC Sailing Club Annual General Meeting (AGM) will be held on the 18th of January, 2019. The meeting is open to all members of the sailing club and you are all encouraged to attend!

During the meeting we will discuss the past year's accomplishments and setbacks, ratify the next year's business plan and discuss the way ahead for the club. Hope to see you all there!
JWC Sailing Club has acquired some new equipment in the form of Canoe's and Kayaks. This has extended the sailing club's accessibility to those who may be interested in water sports other than sailing.

The equipment will be housed at the Madla Boathouse near the 3 Swords and is available free of charge to all sailing club members.

2018 Sailing Year in Review

2018 was another good year for the JWC Sailing Club. Here are just a few of the thing we did this year.
  • We have had a busy but safe season and that is certainly worth celebrating. At the beginning of the year The Club put together a business plan which stated some short term and long term objectives and we completed much of what we set out to do! We have had great progress and are really beginning to make a come-back as a bona-fide sailing club!
  • Thanks to your participation and enthusiasm this year, even when the weather tried to prevent us enjoying a day on the water, we had a total of 6 very well attended club days. The BBQ we acquired in 2016 has been well used and it has greatly improved the quality of these events. We plan to do many more next year.
  • Due to the shutdown of the Kiel Yacht Club we weren't able to run any courses this year however we now have plans in place to get the ball rolling for 2019! We will provide opportunities to become RYA certified through courses in the UK as well as provide conditional club training/certification only for use of the NATO Yacht Aurelius. Keep an eye on the website for further developments and announcements when we know the course dates.
  • Now in our 7th year of operation at the Madla site we have fully settled in and made it our home.  The new site continues to offer an excellent area for sailing, well protected from any ocean swell, but open enough to offer steady, predictable wind conditions and with a great view of the 3 swords.  We were able to, again, recognize some areas in need of improvement and with the help of several dedicated club members we were able to improve the organisation and layout of the Madla Boathouse and mooring space and intend to make further improvements this year.​
  • JWC families also really got involved during the summer holiday period and several children, young adults and adults attended the courses laid on during the 2018 season.  This level of success should support a very active 2019 dinghy season.
