The WebCollect booking form is now live for our awards evening on Friday 14th March at The Ark, Turners Hill. 

As usual, we also have an optional buffet available that should be booked via WebCollect.

Please come along to celebrate the efforts of our sailors and everyone who contributes to the club.

We are pleased to annouce that CMYC are a new MYA Club in the Met & Southern District.

Seven visitors travelled some considerable distances to Hedgecourt Lake for the Crawley Mariners Y.C. Comet open meeting on Saturday 14th September.

When taking control of a sailing boat it gives one a great sense of achievement knowing that you will be able to sail it with confidence no matter what the conditions. Yes, you may try and choose ideal conditions but if the weather turns foul, then it’s nice to have the skills to get back home safely.

Our very own Cruising Co-ordinator, Donal, was among the volunteers whose invaluable contributions across sailing and boating communities were celebrated by Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal, President of the RYA, at an awards ceremony in central London.

CMYC had one of the smaller teams but achieved big results! 

The nesting season for the colony of Common Terns is complete which means that the exclusion zone at the southwest corner of the lake can now be used by paddlers. Sailing boats would do well to keep to the east of the line of white marker buoys as there is only very shallow water in the marked off area and huge amounts of weed.

What makes these tracks in the mud at the bottom of the lake?

CMYC are now on Instagram!

You'll find many wonders of wildlife around the lake. 

Owning our lake is a great asset and a huge advantage for Crawley Mariners, we don’t have to negotiate rental fees with a landlord, and we have the freedom to use Hedgecourt every day of the year if we wish. However, with this freedom, comes a great deal of responsibility.
