Lilliput SC
A few enthusiasts who sailed from Lilliput Yacht Station
got together and formed the Lilliput Sailing Club in
1956. Originally they used a small shed as premises but
during the early 1960's the membership outgrew the
facilities and they had to find a new base. The ground
where they are now situated, was purchased, again the

clubhouse was a shed but the foundation stone of the
present building was laid in 1965 and it was formally
opened a year later. The building work was done by
members and new applicants have to commit
themselves to do regular tasks and duties when asked,
including the laying and servicing moorings.
LSC has an active social programme.

Redclyffe Yacht Club
The RYC is situated on the west bank of the River
Frome at Redclyffe, “Up the river and round the bend!”
Wareham and its attractive Town Quay are a 15 minute
walk along the riverside path. By road the club is
reached from Wareham via Stoborough and Ridge,
following the brown signs to Redclyffe Farm.
The river is tidal, the upper limit being approximately
2K beyond the town quay. The clubhouse and its single
pontoon are accessible at most states of tide to shallow
draft boats - deeper keeled boats, particularly fin keels,
need to consult tide tables. Low springs usually find
most boats sitting on the mud for an hour or so.
