Martham Boating Association was
established in 1987 by a small group of Martham sailing and boating
enthusiasts. Its aims were to promote waterbourne activities
north of Potter Heigham - The club has grown over the years and
today has 50 members, it is open to anyone who
has an interest in boating activities (sailing, cruising, canoeing
etc.). The club has 3 sailing dinghies which are ideal stable
boats for beginners but offer entertaining sailing in stronger
winds for the more experienced. During the Spring/Summer season
competitions are held between club members, the competitions
are friendly and competitive with the emphasis on enjoyment.
There are 2 passage races held during the season, the spring
race is for members only, using their own craft or club dinghies,
with the autumn passage race being an open race for Broads Cruisers,
Half Deckers and Production Yachts, starting and finishing at
The Pleasureboat Inn Hickling.This year 14 boats attended and
a very close competition took place with only 3 minutes between
1st and 4th boats! Some members are also keen to take part in
other open competitions around the Broads, notably The Three
Rivers Race in June and The Yare Navigation Race in September.
Success in these events has been achieved by Russell & Hazel
Smith in Emily 344 and Roger Sales in Sunset 279. We also organise
an active social scene with a variety of events throughout the
year which enables members to keep in touch with one another.
