Welcome to the TSC website

Who?

Since 1880, TSC members have sailed and raced many different types of boat on the Tyne estuary and North Sea, continually developing to the present day. We have a proud heritage, having produced world champion sailors, staged national and world championships, and also won the WLYC 24-hour race in 1981.

Where?

Tynemouth Sailing Club is located on the North side of the entrance to the River Tyne, in the shadow of Tynemouth Priory.
We're the building on the beach at the West end of the North pier on this map.

Why?

Club rule 2: "The Club's objects shall be to encourage sailing, racing, and the building and improvement of sailing boats".

When?

The clubhouse is generally open on Sundays and Wednesday/Friday evenings from April to October, which are our main sailing times during the summer season. From November to March the bar is open on Wednesday evenings from 9pm, and we sail "up river" at Newburn (dinghies) and St Peter's Basin (sportsboats).

How?

New members are always welcome, whether beginners or Olympic standard! Come and talk to members any time, or email us.
We aren't one of those stuffy clubs that demand money with menaces before you even enter the building; however if you'd like to join, here's our application form (requires Adobe Reader - click here to download).
