The club began in 1994 with 6 members. Those youngsters have moved on to sail in Club and National events. One of them got into the National Youth Laser squad. They all started with SYCSA @ Durleigh.

Last season over 50 youngsters achieved RYA Young Sailors qualifications through the Saturday Club.

In 2005 the RYA recognized SYCSA's achievements in Youth Sailing, by presenting the RYA award for outstanding work in the Community to Sian Sedgwick-Wilde the Club manager.
