Penzance Sailing Club
Penzance Sailing Club runs both dinghy and yacht sailing from its base in Penzance, Cornwall, UK. The club's clubhouse is located on the Albert Pier within Penzance harbour. The club was formed by seven individuals in 1939 who bought "West of England Redwinds" to sail in Penzance. Postwar the club's dinghy fleets grew until in the 1970s a yacht fleet was added both of which continue today.
