“Believe me, my young friend, there is nothing - absolutely nothing - half so much worth doing as simply messing about in boats.”

Welcome to the home of The Reed Manglers Sailing, Social and Serendipity Club.

Members of the club are committed to the occasional departure from the pressures of ‘normality’ to relish a few of life’s the simple pleasures centred around Good Times, Good Company, Good food and an occasional glass of something pleasant.

The philosophy of the club and most of it’s members can be summed up by recognising that “sailing in a lovely place among great friends is a wonderful thing to do - but that having the option to decide not to sail instead, is of itself very satisfying”.

The purpose of this site is to provide a focal point for members of the club, friends, families and casual observers & new friends, to share photos, stories and reminders of past exploits - from the tranquil and relaxing to the down-right ridiculous.

We are in the early stages of assembling the “back catalogue” of nautical gems so the site will hopefully grow from these humble beginnings.
