CLUB HERITAGE
Duncan Malcolm was the founder of London Sailing Club and he started with no formal sailing qualifications and is now a Yachtmaster Coastal skipper.
Together with David Trafford Roberts, they started the club, back in 2009, for lack of finding other people to go sailing with in London.
Who are we now?
We’re not a traditional yacht club with a flagpole and club tie! We’re a vibrant online community ranging from the curious novice to the seasoned sailor, with over 1600 facebook and instagram followers.
Our members organise monthly London socials, in excess of 50 sailing trips annually - everything from taster days on the Solent, weekends in the UK, to sun-drenched weeks in the Mediterranean, Nordics and beyond.
