• Bringing your own dinghies, inflatable boats with engines, canoes, windsurfers and Stand-Up Paddle-boards are very welcome at our camps.
• Camp by the waterside in beautiful locations
• Extend your range… Coastal cruise your dinghy on a family camping holiday.

We are a supportive Club and we welcome anyone interested in dinghy cruising and camping ashore – and we also plan group walks and group cycling sometimes.

The whole family, and singles, will enjoy the good life getting back to nature with Cody.

We have a wide operating area, across the South of England, and we venture further afield for camps. We sail in Sussex, Hampshire, Dorset, Devon and Cornwall.

The primary purpose of the club is to organise affordable coastal sailing cruises and sailing-themed camps for our members, in a friendly and supportive group environment. The sailing is designed to suit a wide range of sailing abilities, whilst the camping also appeals to non-sailing members of all ages.

While we are most definitely not a racing community, we welcome members with all levels of sailing competence, and there is always a healthy interest in effective and efficient sailing.

We do not offer clubhouse facilities or storage for club member’s boats. Our camping locations do not support car-trailer launched boats. You will get the most benefit from Cody SC by having a hand-launchable dinghy on a combi-trailer that is no heavier than a Wayfarer.

Our programme provides both tidal and inland sailing events that are tailored to suit the mixed interests of our membership.

Many of our camps are on private coastal sites that landowners have made available to the club over many years.

We enjoy fleet dinghy cruising in tidal waters in the Solent and other prime UK locations.

We support Cruiser Rally’s for our Yachting community and dinghy fraternity alike, and in order to maintain social contact all year round we hold winter events both on the water and ashore.

To provide dinghy space for non-boat owners on our cruising events, the club also provides access to two Comet Trios subject to an additional Dinghy Section membership fee. These boats are also available for hire by qualified crews.

We are an active and friendly sailing club whose membership used to be drawn mostly from around the Farnborough and Portsdown, Hampshire area, and now we have membership from Yorkshire to Somerset, Kent to Dorset. We organise regular dinghy cruises on the sea and inland waters as well as yacht cruises and many family camps. Other activities involve friendly racing and many social activities including visits and talks.
