Welcome
Bury Lake Young Mariners (BLYM) is an award-winning local youth charity (No. 1102162) and we are run entirely by over 300 volunteers at the picturesque Rickmansworth Aquadrome.
For more than 40 years, we have promoted the development of life skills in young people through the medium of sailing, enabling over 7000 people to enjoy the water each year.
We operate an all-inclusive club and we welcome new members. Please see the Membership page for details.
All of our sailing and powerboat courses are certified by the Royal Yachting Association (RYA) and are available to anyone from aged 9 and up. We also offer short, fun sessions for 7-9 year-olds.
