There are two sailing clubs holding prime positions in
Mount’s Bay, the Penzance Sailing Club located on Albert Pier, within
the Penzance harbour area and Mount’s Bay Sailing Club at Marazion with
St Michael’s Mount to seaward. Both clubs support a number of Dinghy
classes and, at Penzance, there is also a thriving Cruiser fleet.
Both clubs openly encourage new members and
have seen many championships in their histories. Record fleets have
also enjoyed this natural arena and in 1972 the largest ever open meeting
was hosted by the Penzance Sailing Club and was duly recorded in the
Guinness Book of Records for that year.
