Yaverland Sailing ClubThe Club is nestled just below Culver Down and is situated very close to a lovely, gently sloping sandy beach (although when the tide is out it is not very close to the sea!).

The whole bay encompasses the resort towns of Sandown and Shanklin, has cliffs at both ends with approximately 4 miles of sandy beach between.


Yaverland BeachThe Bay itself was voted the best bay on the South coast and with predominately South Westerly winds (cross-shore) and a South East-facing beach a Force 4 can mean a relatively flat sea. 

With very little boat traffic, very few moored boats and a maximum tidal speed of 2 knots it offers fantastic sailing.
