We are a friendly club in North East England, with a diverse membership coming from as far afield as Yorkshire, Lancashire, Scotland and Cumbria.

We are always looking to welcome new members to the pleasures of sailing or cruising on Kielder.
Our strategy is to encourage both cruising and sailing events, as well as organising a full social programme – but club members may also simply like to get away from it all and relax with a peaceful days sailing. Check out the stunning location of the KYC marina and surrounding area in the below video
