Fancy getting back out on the water? We’re inviting Old Cokethorpeans to join us once again for a relaxed morning of sailing and light-hearted racing, bringing together familiar faces and rekindling the spirit of those school day adventures. It’s the perfect chance to reconnect, share a bit of friendly competition, and enjoy time afloat in true Cokethorpe style.
This will be the second year of the Old Cokethorpeans Sailing Morning – a new, and hopefully long-standing, tradition for the OC calendar. We’ll be heading out in Fusion dinghies, which offer the best blend of performance and accessibility for mixed-experience groups. To add a touch of friendly rivalry, the winning boat will have their name engraved on a new trophy created especially for this event, marking the start of what we hope becomes a long-standing OC tradition.
All participants will need to be capable of sailing a dinghy independently to an RYA Level 2 standard, meaning they can handle a small boat safely without direct supervision in light to moderate conditions. Full safety cover, equipment, and on-water coaching will be provided throughout the morning by our qualified sailing staff, following Oxford Sail Training Trust procedures.
Refreshments will be available from the Café at Farmoor.
There is a £35.00 event fee, which covers boat use, safety cover, coaching, and venue support. To secure your place, please click Book Now to complete the response form. Spaces may be limited depending on fleet capacity, so early responses are much appreciated. We look forward to welcoming you back onto the water.
Registration closes on Friday, 19 March 2027.
