Welcome
Welcome to our virtual sailing club (no boats, no club house)! We are a group of people who sail mainly through chartering. As members are spread throughout southern England we keep in touch principally through email and the web site.
LADOS (pronounced ley-dos) started life in about 1996 when a small group of friends decided they wanted to do more sailing but didn’t know any other sailors. So the idea was formed (in a pub) to create a virtual sailing club to which anyone could join provided they wanted to go sailing! In trying to find a name, one member said “we are doing s*d all so let’s call it LADOS which is s*d all backwards”!!
Since then many people have joined us on trips and cruises. Some have been challenging (F7 to Le Havre); some have been long (to San Sebastian in Spain and back); and some have been out-of-season (Alderney in February). But all have been fun, offering people a chance to develop their sailing skills and get out on the water more often.
We strive hard to welcome new joiners, of any age or ability. We have quite a few lady members as well. We encourage all members to gain more experience and increase their sailing skills.
