Salterns Sailing Club Lymington

Salterns Sailing Club
Salterns is a sailing club run by children for children.  A place where they can learn to enjoy sailing and gain experience in dinghies such as Optimists, Moths, Scows and RS Teras. The club is run entirely by volunteers, both junior and adult.  The Club provides a unique opportunity for an interested young sailor to learn how to run a club as well as sail.

Founded in 1960, the club has inspired generations of sailors.

The Salterns Pond is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), created from an old saltpan, and is about 1 metre deep. The facilities are located right on the “old salt pond”, with a small clubhouse holding the changing rooms and the kitchen, and a dedicated yard containing a good range of club boats.

The club was formed in 1960 on land owned by Major Hibbert, to encourage and organise sailing and racing for helmsmen and women under the age of 16 years, and to give its members practical experience in a safe environment.
