UK's Open Canoe Sailing Group attracts like-minded sailors

Although it is based in the United Kingdom, the OCSG has members from beyond UK shores, the internet and email making it easier to keep in touch. It is really a "club" for like-minded people and members are keen for it to remain informal, relaxed and friendly; any ‘seriousness’ or over-competitiveness is generally avoided! 

The Group encourages newcomers to the activity and provides a meeting point for canoe-sailors to engage in the activity together and share ideas. It has a website (www.ocsg.org.uk ) and email address: This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it

Meets are arranged in different parts of Great Britain and sometimes further afield, to provide variety and a 'local' venue as much as possible. OCSG events are primarily sociable and are usually based at waterside campsites to keep costs down. The group is financed by membership subscriptions (the annual fee for 2008 is £30 for newsletters by post and £20 by email). This monthly newsletter (The Gossip) carries meet reports, cruising news, details of meetings etc and items of general and technical interest to the canoe sailor.
