Welcome to the website for
Corus Sailing Club, Margam,
Port Talbot.

Web site created by Sian Bambridge (© 2008) to illusterate to Corus Sailing Club what a professionally designed and produced Web Site may look like should they wish to invest in creating a more up to date image.

The club is situated three miles south of Port Talbot, South Wales and was formerly known as the British Steel Sailing Club. The reservoir is over one mile long by approximately half a mile wide, where racing takes place every Sunday throughout the whole year (for those brave enough!) and also on Saturdays, Tuesday evenings and Wednesday evenings through the Summer months.

"Please note that you DO NOT need to be employed by Corus to become a member!! "
