Cruising with SFCC
Welcome to the cruising section of The Starcross Fishing and Cruising Club. Please join us cruising with our well established friendly riverside club. We like to encourage as many people as possible to enjoy cruising in our beautiful local waters, and extended areas.
To help people achieve this and to enjoy the camaraderie of cruising in company we run a cruising schedule.
We believe that cruising in company, apart from adding to the experience, can offer friendly reasurance, and peace of mind, where needed.
Many of our club cruises go to familiar ports such as Torquay, Babbacombe, Brixham or Dartmouth, but for those of you who would like to be more adventurous, we may also cruise towards Lyme Regis, Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, the Channel Islands and the Brittany Coast. Each published cruise offers a named lead, for member contact.
We do welcome visiting cruisers, as well as other local clubs / boating folk, in joining us at any time. We have a club visitors mooring available for a minimum charge. The location is in deeper water and is suitable for vessels up to 10m long. Whilst fluctuations in the depth will occur, it was 3m at MLWS in 2016, The GPS co-ordinates are;
N 50 37.390 W 003 26.489
You may use this facility as a visitor, though the club is unable to accept any liability whilst you are there.

Friday Forums
Sharing expertise and experience amongst members
At SFCC we are friendly and informal. We also know that if you’re new to boating it’s often helpful to learn from people who are a bit more experienced. That’s why we hold Friday Forums throughout the winter (when we aren’t using our boats) to learn new methods or just hear a talk about an interesting topic.
The ‘closed season’ winter / spring programme of events for 2023, organised by Steve Cowell our Fishing Secretary, is now complete.
More dates to be confirmed soon.
Any enquiries or suggestions for future forums should be directed to: forum.sfcc@gmail.com
