Traeth Coch Sailing Club

About Us: Traeth Coch Sailing Club

..............................................................................................................

We are based in the beautifully scenic surroundings of Red Wharf Bay, Anglesey where on the East gentle wooded slopes sweep down almost to the blue-flag beach of Llandona and on the West is the imposing Castell Mawr or Castle Rock which stands guard over the entrance to the moorings.

We are a friendly club of about one hundred members and were founded in 1969 with the aim of promoting boating of all kinds in Red Wharf Bay and regulating the use of the moorings. The moorings are situated around a small stream which flows to the sea on the West side of the bay and are tidal with access being about two hours either side of high water. The boats are mainly bilge-keel yachts with some dayboats and some motor boats, all of which are on swinging moorings.

The clubhouse which is situated near Castle Rock is the focus of the sailing and social programme which is at its most active between Easter and October. The bar in the clubhouse is open every Friday and Saturday evening during this period and there is a social function about once a month.The clubhouse is also open on a Saturday evening about every two weeks in the winter for a social function.

The sailing programme offers something every weekend during the season and has a mixture of one or two day cruises and one or two tide races. In the summer there is opportunity to sail in company with other yachts on longer cruises to destinations in the Isle of Man, Northern Ireland, Eire and the West Coast of Scotland
