Based in Appledore on the River Torridge, the club has over 100 active members and a brilliant way to improve fitness while enjoying the glorious outdoors in a stunning setting. The club regularly competes in regattas and has even sent teams to the World Championships on the Isles of Scilly.

Staying on the water, North Devon Yacht Club has appointed Eric Evans and Katy Quick as their new joint club managers after a lengthy recruitment process.

They said: “We are excited to get started as Club Managers here at NDYC. We're looking forward to hearing your views and helping, under the guidance of the committee, to realise the potential the club has to offer.

“If it's on the water - we like it. We have been involved in dinghy sailing, racing and training, catamaran sailing, racing and training, yacht cruising and racing, motor boating in the estuary, kayaking, paddle boarding, windsurfing and most things in between. We believe that having such a broad experience and interest in boating will allow us to represent all of our members.”
