Re: Dinghy database photo
It looks a bit like a river section coming off Abingdon mariner, there is a sailing club there too, but I doubt I am right, I know almost nothing about where sailing clubs are!

I am pretty sure that is Henley Sailing Club on the Thames. Possibly taken during the 2009 National 12 Open. My daughter was crewing for Rosie White on Eric , with the sail no that looks like 812, though I am sure that is not the hull number.

Re: Dinghy database photo
I think it is Upper Thames S.C. at Bourne End, looking down river from the clubhouse. That planking along the edge battered the gunwhales of HalfCut last time we were there.
Re: Dinghy database photo
Not UTSC.....no rail bridge!I think it is Upper Thames S.C. at Bourne End,
and the downstream end of the UTSC frontage is the clubhouse.
and UTSC don't have any slips, but use floating ramps...
and there are houses downstream of UTSC on the other bank.
But it does look like the Thames, my money would be on Henley, which I think is quite a bit downstream of the town, near Shiplake, but it has been a very long time since I have been on that bit of the river. Of course there are lots of other upper thames clubs too....what about one of those around Oxford?

Re: Dinghy database photo
No, not Cookham Reach either...
CRSC is on the other (southern) side of the river, so from this view point, you would be looking up stream across cockmarsh towards Winter Hill with UTSC in the distance around the corner (past the bridge). So not many trees in background at all and houses all along the other (north) bank.
Again CRSC don't have a proper slip, but just a short lowered bit of concrete down to the water edge.
Also, the tow path goes straight through their club launch area, so there is a fence right next to the tow path and bank.
I would guess that it was upstream of Bourne End.
It is interesting that there is a steam-launch in the background though....I wonder if that makes it more likely to be close to a more trendy area? Henley? Abingdon? Oxford?
cheers

Re: Dinghy database photo
I'm appalled by the lack of knowledge of the Thames by folk who have probably sailed here on numerous occasions
this is where ratty and mole were club members!

Me neither @ least in that area anyway! Except The fabled Ranaleigh and the 'Thamsis' where I aquired my Merlin from . We had to move a couple of Ratty A Raters to get it out of the Boathouse.Max Mc Carthy, I know almost nothing about where sailing clubs are!
However,after some exhaustive silver surfing, I think it may be a place where the now Classic AC cars used to come from-, Thames Ditton
so The River Club, (Queen's Road)?
Re: Dinghy database photo
I'd assumed it was too narrow for the Thames and that it was somewhere around Tewkesbury, but I haven't sailed on either river.

Re: Dinghy database photo
Its not Avon Sc (on the severn) as the river there is wider, and its not Severn SC (on the Avon) as they don't have that many big trees that close to the club... as far as I recall.
Is it one of the lost sailing clubs (e.g. Evesham??)
