Canoeing & Kayaking
Find out more about canoeing and kayaking at the Northampton Sailing Club.
Canoeing and Kayaking…
…are amongst the most popular activities at NSC with members new and old enjoying the simplicity of being able to get afloat with a canoe or kayak and paddle. As a sport it is quick to pick up and fun for all the family. Whether you are relaxing or racing it is brilliant fun and a great exercise.
For those who are keen, there are several distance courses (1k, 3k, 5k) to challenge yourself against the distance, the clock and your friends on Strava. You are very welcome to bring your own canoe or kayak to the club, wetsuits and buoyancy aids are available to borrow for free – please just rinse and return after use.
The reservoir is open for use from dawn to dusk every day, ideal for those early risers wanting to take advantage of clear skies and calm water. Many of our members make a weekend of it, joining with the Friday SUP night and camping to make the most of the weekend’s weather conditions.
Friday SUP nights are our informal weekly gatherings open to all club members whether they are SUP’ing, canoeing, kayaking or out using sails. The club BBQ’s on the terrace are available for use, so bring a picnic and relax with like-minded friends enjoying the view across Pitsford Water.
