Introduction
Welcome to Huntingdon RYC – ‘The Family Friendly’ Club
As radio sailing is something everyone no matter of age can enjoy, and the sport and our club continues to grow in popularity. We would like to help everyone progress and get the most out of sailing.
We are in the fortunate position where we are continuing to attract people of all ages to our sport, due to our friendly attitude and great location. We are also fortunate in that not only do we have experienced sailors who are prepared to offer advice and tips, we also have experienced sailing instructors, race officers and rescue/ power boat drivers.
