Pin Mill Sailing Club is situated on the south bank
of the beautiful River Orwell just 6 miles down river
from the port of Ipswich in Suffolk. For Tidal information,

The sailing at Pin Mill is mainly
for cruisers and day boats and there is handicap
racing for cruisers. Apart from the racing there is
an active social programme including cruises to Holland
each year.
Yachts can be moored at Pin Mill and
the public hard provides landing facilities. There
are two small boat-yards in Pin Mill which can provide
winter storage, lifting and launching for yachts up
to 10 metres. The river also provides the traditional
approach to yachting, which means you should be prepared
to get muddy and not expect a Marina!
During the sailing season our bar is open
on Friday evenings (20.00-23.00), Saturday
lunchtimes in the summer (12.00-15.00), Saturday
evenings (20.00-23.00), Sunday lunchtimes
(12.00-15.00) and Sunday evenings in
the summer (18.00-22.30). Visitors are welcome to use
the bar during these times provided they sign the Visitors's
Book, and, since part of our objective is to promote the
social side of sailing, we would also ask that they also
make themselves known to one of the Flag Officers or Committee
Members who will be pleased to welcome them. Please note
that food is not generally available except by pre-arrangement
for groups, but a selection of hot and cold sandwiches
are available on Sunday lunchtimes. |

Mill Sailing Club extends a warm welcome to members of
other yacht clubs - we hope you find the information on
our Web Site useful!
Members of other yacht clubs are very
welcome - either as individual visitors or in groups
- to visit our clubhouse which is located a cable or
so upriver of the Butt and Oyster PH, and offers a relaxed
environment with splendid views across the river.
If you are planning a cruise in company
in the Orwell we would be delighted to hear from you
so please let us know your likely requirements in terms
of dates and numbers. For further information about
catering options for group visits, (which will normally
involve an element of prior selection) please telephone
Jackie or Jo (01473 780271) during bar opening times
on a Saturday or Sunday.
We are also working towards making available
a number of visitors' moorings; these cannot be pre-booked
at the present time although there are usually some
vacant moorings available on a 'first come first served
basis'. Another option is to take a berth at Woolverstone
marina from where our clubhouse is a pleasant 15 minute
countryside stroll away. This latter option may also
be preferred if your visit coincides with LW Springs
when access to the public hard at Pin Mill is less easy. |
