Starcross Yacht Club is reputed to be one of the oldest sailing clubs in the British Isles, having been loosely formed to organise a sailing regatta all the way back in 1772.  However, it is now a thoroughly go-ahead, modern and informal family club devoted to the pursuit of small boat sailing.  Since 1957, the club, originally situated in Starcross Village, has been based at our present location at Powderham Point on the west bank of the Exe Estuary, where we have all the facilities expected by keen sailors.  There are excellent changing rooms and showers, plus launching and berthing facilities for sailing dinghies and catamarans.

It was only two weeks before the nineteenth running of the annual Starcross Steamer on the Exe estuary that Haldon and Telegraph hills (only two miles from the club) were in the national press having been closed by snow, causing tailbacks and gridlock over the whole area.

Phantoms at SYC SteamerBut what a difference a couple of weeks can make. On Sunday 24th January we were blessed with sunshine, a temperature of 9 degrees and the Exe looking like a mill pond. The entry of seventy two boats (well up on last year) were able to see the safety boats lay a small course off the club in readiness for the wind to arrive.
