Welcome to Tranmere Sailing Club.
Tranmere Sailing Club welcome you to our website and hope you find it of interest.
The club is situated on Bedford Road East, Rock Ferry on the Wirral side of the river Mersey; a few metres from the slipway used by the club to launch and retrieve our craft. This is one of the few slipways in the northwest of England, that give access to the river even at low tides and is therefore, when necessary used by emergency services. We are one of several local community sailing clubs, and being run solely by unpaid volunteer members who share a love of sailing and boating and just having fun on the river Mersey in a safe and friendly environment. The club is conveniently situated a short journey from the Mersey Tunnels and with easy access from further afield by motorways M53 and M56.
We hope you enjoy your visit to our website today, and if so look forward to hearing from you where upon you will receive a warm welcome.
A message from the management committee.
Tranmere sailing club have enjoyed yet another successful year.
Membership continues to rise which allows further funding to continue with plans to improve the fabric of our club house and facilities including the now secure ìtop yardî surface which in turn increases our boat storage capacity.
The club continues to plan for social events throughout the coming year with modest profits allowing us to continue with support of local charities.
Our presence on the river Mersey has allowed participation by all in activities on the river with our partners and fellow members from UKNBSA.
(UK Northwest Blind Sailor Association).
This year saw the retirement of our commodore, Vinny Reynolds; the club benefitted greatly from his leadership and generous support over the last five years. We thank both Vinny and his partner Sue and wish them well in their future endeavours.
Last but by no means least, the committee wish to thank our members for their support, whether that be on a club night, on a club event, on the water or on a shovel in a work party.
Our sincere thanks to all.

TRANMERE SAILING CLUB
Activities At The Sailing Club.
Sailing
Tranmere Sailing Club members are a collective of Yachtsmen; Dinghy sailors; Motor boaters and sea anglers.
The yachties are pleasure sailors and sail in the evenings after work and weekends, tides and weather permitting, frequently seeking crew to enjoy a leisurely sail. The club currently has two sailing dinghies available for members to use, provided they can demonstrate appropriate sailing skills and have their own sailing/safety equipment.
Our motor boaters, like their fellow yachtsmen can sometimes be looking for company on a local cruise along the river Mersey even on occasion out to the mouth of the river at New Brighton.
Races / Events
The annual programme includes both competitive races and leisurely events, where the pleasure may be simply enjoying time on the water!
Social Meetings
Our regular club night is Wednesday. We meet for a drink and sometimes put the world to rights! This is the place to share your adventures and to find solutions to some of the many boating problems.
The clubhouse is available for members to hire for their own use. There is a bar, meeting room and a fully fitted kitchen with tea and coffee making facilities.
Training
The club currently only offers peer training. The long-standing members of the club have decades of skills and knowledge, many have worked during their lives in the once thriving ship industry along the banks of the Mersey during its heyday. A lot of their knowledge cannot be found in books or DVD’s, but gained from personal experience. These members are always friendly and approachable willing to impart their “know how” to enthusiastic participants.
Boat Care & Maintance
As previously mentioned many members worked in the ship building/maintenance industry and are happy to share their skills and knowledge. The club has a container fitted out as a workshop with lighting; electric; work bench; bench drill; bench grinder and heavy-duty battery charger. Hand tools I’m afraid you will have to bring your own, well we don’t want to spoil you too much.

Club History.
At The Start.
This history of the club is taken in the main from a series of notes compiled by Donald Stuart Tod in 1986 from a collection of minute books from meetings of the club dating back to 1905.
This history of the club is taken in the main from a series of notes compiled by Donald Stuart Tod in 1986 from a collection of minute books from meetings of the club dating back to 1905.
In 1888, the Mersey Canoe Club sailed and raced canoes in what was then Tranmere Bay - this has now been mainly filled in for docks used by the Shell Oil terminal. There were a number of half decked sailing boats moored in the bay and they banded together to form a sailing club. Some of the canoe club members (Dr Hayward, D. MacIver, C Livingstone and P. Nisbet) were well known for sailing as well and became members of the club at its inception so they may well have been instrumental in its formation.
The club was formed mainly with the idea of providing racing for various half decker’s which had been racing at Egremont Sailing Club but had been handicapped out of (their races) this season. The president at this time was Mr James Buckley, with Mr John Frazer of Market Street Birkenhead was Hon. Secretary.
So many races were held in 1890 and 1891 between these boats that a proper Sailing Club was formed. Premises were secured on the Tranmere Pier Head next to those of the Mersey Canoe Club. The name of the new club was Tranmere Sailing Club.
Tranmere Sailing Club First Mentioned.
The first mention of Tranmere Sailing Club in public record is from The Yachtsman 1st September 1892.
The first mention of Tranmere Sailing Club in public record is from The Yachtsman 1st September 1892. It is accompanied by the phrase yet another sailing club on the Mersey which gives an indication of the level of sailing activity there was on the river at this time.
The club remained at Tranmere until 1900, when that whole section of the North End of what was then Tranmere Bay was required for commercial development, which may have included the development of the Lairds slipways. The club was therefore required to move and the Clubs headquarters moved to Rock Ferry. A piece of land on the riverfront was leased from the Birkenhead Corporation Ferries and a small club house and boat store were built. There was also an enclosure to store dinghies. Races were started from the floating stage at the end of the pier and guns and flags were stored in a shed on this stage. The clubhouse was paid for by a loan in shares made by club members. This was paid off in 1908.
The Rock Ferry floating stage was built in about 1899 and the ferry service started running in about 1901. The ferry was the usual mode of transport for those members arriving from Liverpool, and the ferryboats sailed every 20 minutes. Rock Ferry prospered and the houses and roads of Rock Park were kept in an immaculate condition, with a man on the gate who asked your business as you entered. The Royal Rock Hotel - which was residential and the Rock Vaults were situated on the south side of Bedford Road with Donavan’s Refreshment Rooms (what then went on to become the Admiral Pub) opposite.
By this time the fleet was mainly composed of fully decked yachts, a large number being Morecambe Bay Prawners, or Nobbys and this meant that down river, Offshore races could be held. The courses included buoys in Liverpool Bay and open races were held in the club programme.
In 1908 it was agreed to extend the existing clubhouse. Further shares were sold to club members to cover the cost of the new extension. These shares were to pay interest of 5%. The new extension was ready for use in July 1909. The Club membership increased with the good facilities, locker room, washing accommodation and the new extension suitable for social functions.
There were facilities for storing oars and dinghies in the adjoining boatyard, Bonds, and use of their slipway.
The first hotpot supper in the new clubhouse was held in September 1909, a piano was purchased for the club and the pianist was paid 5 shillings to play at the supper.
Arrangements were made to have lectures on nautical subjects in the clubhouse over the winter months and the following rule was agreed at the 1909 AGM:
The Club premises shall be open to members and their guests between the hours of 8am and 11:30pm, also that no intoxicating drink shall at any time be brought onto the club premises for consumption on the premises except with the express sanction of the committee and such sanction shall only be given for some special club function and shall cease and become inoperative the day following the event for which the sanction was given. Any member acting in contravention of this rule shall be liable to be struck off the role of membership.
The committee also decided that the piano should be locked on Sundays.
During WWI.
In 1914 the first world war broke out. It was agreed that year there would be no AGM and 30 members were away serving in the forces.
In 1914 the first world war broke out. It was agreed that year there would be no AGM and 30 members were away serving in the forces. It was agreed that subscriptions for these members were suspended. Club activities virtually ceased throughout this time except for a few meetings. Five members of TSC were killed in action in the war, and it was agreed that a role of honour would be displayed.
Ladies were finally admitted to the club as members in 1920 with a fee of 5/- with no entrance fee.
In 1922 there was some concern that the club would have to be wound up due to debts and liabilities. A guarantee fund was set up by members and a it was agreed that a bar would open and be run on a rota basis. Around this time there was some calls to rename the club Rock Ferry or Birkenhead Yacht Club but these were defeated.
Isle Of Man Midnight Race.
Tranmere took over the running of the Isle of Man Midnight Race in 1925.
Tranmere took over the running of the Isle of Man Midnight Race in 1925. The race was a success mainly because all involved agreed to contribute to the costs of prizes and race expenses. A race programme was printed every year with a list of entrants and previous entries. Advertising space was sold and the programmes were sold for 1d.
In the 1930s the course required vessels to stick to a channel course and leave the channel between Q3 red and Q3 black. Before the second world war, Mersey Buoyage conformed in shape only to the uniform system and the port hand marks were black and starboard red.
In 1934 it was agreed that the race should be held on June 22nd but due to gale force winds on this day, it was postponed and the race was rearranged for 6th July. This is the only time the race has been postponed and sailed at a later date.
In 1935 the race was started in gale force winds and only one boat finished, Kathleen, owned by Mr Steve Woolley.
In 1936, an arrangement was made with the Steam Packet Company that a radio message be transmitted via the GPO giving the weather conditions one hour out from Douglas, by one of their steamers. The message was to be received at Tranmere before 6pm so that competitors would have this information before going aboard. The message would be transmitted in morse code. Unfortunately, the message was not received in time and a letter of complaint was sent to the Head Postmaster in Liverpool.
Isle Of Man Midnight Race - 1907 History Of The Race 1992
The Race was first held on the 24th May 1907, under the auspices of the Liverpool Bay Yacht Club, who operated From the Magazines at New Brighton.
The Race was first held on the 24th May 1907, under the auspices of the Liverpool Bay Yacht Club, who operated From the Magazines at New Brighton. The race was from New Brighton Pier to Douglas, the Isle of Man, and yachts "of any rig" from 5 to 50 tons T.M., were eligible that year eleven yachts entered, from Clubs including the Liverpool Bay Yacht Club, Royal Mersey Yacht Club and West Lanc's Yacht Club. The prizes included a silver epergne (a centrepiece for a table) weighing 88 ounces. A silver Commemoration Medal was awarded to every yacht finishing the course. The race started at New Brighton Pier on Friday evening the 24th in light airs, the Liverpool Daily Post and Mercury of the time reporting that throughout the race conditions were most variable, "many of them disagreeable, difficult, and uncomfortable". The race was won by " Persephone", owned by the Treasurer of the Royal Ulster club, the organisation through which Sir Thomas Lipton challenged for America's cup. She arrived in Douglas at 10.35 on a Saturday morning, the last boat to finish not arriving until 3.40 p.m. the 1909 race, held on May 28th, started in a piercing wind and choppy seas, accompanied by pouring rain. A dozen boats started, the largest being "Galas" of 33 tons, owned by Mr Charles Wight of Manchester, and the smallest "Lilian", a 7 tonner built at peel, in the isle of Man. The Daily Post and Mercury record that, on "Galas" two lady amateurs formed part of the crew, the only sailor women to take part in the anxious vicissitudes of the Midnight Race". It is also noted that "at the start, all carried mainsails, backyard topsails and jibs, but the topsails were in there Many cases discarded by the by". "Wallaroo", sailed by Mr J. Bibby, who "never left the tiller of the moment", carried her backyard throughout, and made a splendid passage of barely eight hours, "passable for many a steamer". She was, however, placed only 7th in the record results. After years of a storm, the 1911 race started at 8.oo p.m. on the Friday in a flat calm, and by 9.00 p.m. only three boats managed to cross the starting line. "Mammon", the winner on corrected time, was the first boats to arrive in Douglas 30 hours after the start, She managed to save by five minutes the times allowed "Wallaroo: who finished second for the fourth successive year. An article appeared in the Barrow news of 1913 which included a transcript of the log of the yacht "Peggy", from Fleetwood, which took part in the race that year, from New Brighton Pier to Port St. Mary, I.O.M. It is recorded in this log that the start of the race was postponed from Friday evening to 8.05 on a Saturday morning, due to strong winds. Twelve boats took part in the race in 1913 race, which, when it was considered that yachts in those days had no auxiliary engines, and had to get to the Mersey and back to their home ports under sail, must be considered a fair entry. "Peggy" finished the race at 8.15 p.m. on a Saturday, and Was awarded third prize. The winner that year was "Wallaroo", which had taken part in the race in 1907, 1908, 1910 and 1911. Between 1907 and 1914, when the race was abandoned due to the war, the average entry was about twelve boats, which was maintained in the early years after 1920, when the race was resumed. The record for the fastest crossing was set in 1922 and still holds today. This was achieved by "Capella", a Morecambe bay types forty six-footer, when she completed the crossing in 8 hours, 9 minutes and 40 seconds. The race was staled on a broad reach, in strong to gale force winds. A report in the Daily Post and Mercury records that the race started about 6 0'clock on Saturday morning, having been postponed from 7 p.m. on Friday, and that, "the passage was probably the, most memorable Midnight Race ever held... the crews declaring that it was the most severe test since the race was inaugurated".
"Capella" was, however, not placed in the corrected results, the winner in Class I being "St. Elmo", and "Endymion" in class II. An unusual postscript to the race was provided by Tuesdays Daily Post, which reported that "in the early hours of `Monday morning, "St. Elmo" met with a remarkable mishap. The tide was out and dry when some person cut the halliards from the mast to the quay used to steady her, with the result that she fell on her side and was badly damaged. One of the owners, Mr H.Booth, was on board and was a rendered unconscious". Tranmere Sailing Club assumed the organisation of the race in 1925, and the race under the Tranmere burgee was held on July 3rd of the year. The entry was divided into two classes, with eight boats in Class I including "Wallaroo", who had sailed in the first race in 1907, and six in Class II. In 1926 the race was won by Cammell Laird Sea Scouts in "Swan" There had been some doubt as to whether this entry should be permitted, due to the boat's unknown performance. However, it was finally accepted and an arbitrary rating calculated. To the embarrassment of the Handicapping Committee, and the chagrin of the other competitors, "Swan" finished first on the correct time, after a fair wind passage. In 1928 the decision was taken that the engines of all boats taking part should be officially sealed. The race, which started at 8.25 p.m. on Friday 13th, was staled under perfect conditions, a good sailing breeze enabling the yachts to carry full sail all the way across. "Mimosa", the first boat, reached Douglas at 6.05 on Saturday morning, to win for the second year running. In the 1929 race, after a difficult start due to being moored to the North of the stage, and the wind failing just before the start, "Myfanwy", a Royal Mersey Restricted Class yacht form the West Cheshire Sailing Club, went on to win Class II. For the 1930 race, a unique Handicapping system was in operation, with one handicap for fair winds, and another for headwinds. The entries ranged from "Olga", a 35 tonner from Ramsay, which was a scratch boat in Class I in both fair and headwinds, to "foam", in Class II, with handicaps of 120 and 150 minutes, respectively. Class I was won by "Mimosa", with a passage time of 12 hours, 34 minutes and Class II by "Myfanwy", for the second year running. Other notable names in the 1939 race are "Rosebud" and "Darthula", from T.S.C in Class I and "Frosette" from West Kirby Sailing Club in Class II. In 1931, eighteen yachts entered the race, and 1932 saw a record entry of twenty-two boats. In 1934 the race was postponed on the original starting date of 22nd June, due to gale-force winds and heavy seas., and sailed on the 6th July. Although postponed on a few occasions, the race has been cancelled on only one occasion in its history. In 1935 a proposal was made and accepted that the course to Douglas should be " go as you please", the lightship and buoys not being marked in the race. After a postponement of the start from Friday evening until 5 a.m. the following morning, the race was held in severe weather, and seventeen of the eighteen starters turned back and ran for shelter. The only boat to finish was "Kathleen", a 21-ton cutter sailed by Mr Steve Wooley, after ploughing the heavy seas for seventeen hours. In 1937, "Coral", sailed by the Poynton brothers, was the first boat to arrive in Douglas at 3.34 a.m. on Sunday, after a passage of 31 hours. Her owners then took finishing times of the other yachts on their cabin clock, the O.O.Ds at Douglas having retired to bed! The Poyntons reward came when they declared the winner of Class II. In 1938, after a rough passage with continual pumping and bailing, "Iomhar", who had taken part in the race since the early twenties, was first in Class I, with "Coral" winning Class II. War again interrupted the race between 1939 and 1945. In the 1946 race, the first to be held after the war, fifteen yachts took part. They made good time down the Mersey until the N.W. breeze died away and an unwelcome calm set in. This persisted until Saturday morning when a light South Westerly breeze arose. "Amita", the first yacht to cross the finishing lined so at 4.14 on Saturday afternoon, and the last boats did not arrive until 10 p.m. on Saturday. Six years of World War II had done nothing to change the fickle nature of wind in the Irish Sea!

Between 1960 and 1991 notable success in the race was achieved by the Dee class yachts designed by Peter Brett, "Pellegrina", a Dee 27, winning in 1961, 1965, 1982, 1986, 1990 and 1991, and "Salamandra" a Dee 25 in 1966, 1968, 1969 and (Class B) 1991. Various rating systems have been used throughout the history of the race, the R.O.R.C. and I.O.R. systems prevailing for some boats after the war, involving in what became a complicated and expensive measurement system. A solution was provided in 1970, when Liverpool Bay Sailing Association was formed, at the behest of local clubs seeking a uniform system of Handicapping for inter Club events in the area. A handicapping system was devised involving measurement which owners could carry out themselves. This system, with subsequent modifications, has been used since for entrants in the Midnight race, although in the last year, a separate Class has been introduced for boats wishing to use the Channel. System. Although development in racer/cruiser yachts has changed the nature of the entry over recent years, starting in the mid-70s, when fibreglass construction and other technical developments began to influence the design of yachts, the Midnight Race still encompasses a wide range of boats, ranging from small 23 footers designed essentially for cruising, to the larger racer/cruisers like the Hustler 35 and Sigma 38, fitted with every electronic aid to sailing imaginable. And still, there are a number of more traditional designs, which, particularly with the wind anywhere aft of abeam, are highly competitive!
Types Of Boats Doing The Race:
It was agreed in 1937 that a one Rater, Roulette would be able to participate in the Isle of Man race.
It was agreed in 1937 that a one Rater, Roulette would be able to participate in the Isle of Man race. It was thought be some unwise to let a day sailing boat to go offshore with a large open cockpit, but they sailed the race and came second that year.
Two long standing traditions of the club were started in 1926 and 1927, with the first Ladies Race being held and also the first Club Night. This has been held on a Wednesday night ever since. Social functions also started to be held in the clubhouse including a dance which was held in 1930 despite opposition from older members. In February 1932 a similar event was held and it was agreed that no entry charge would be made but that gentlemen attending would be expected to make a small donation towards the expenses of entertaining their ladies.
A separate sailing committee to the management committee was also set up around this time. In 1933 the fleet moored at Rock Ferry now numbered about 35 boats. The club also had many members who were anxious to crew and the committee asked boat owning members to assist in giving sailing experience. Two notices were placed on the notice board - one for boat owners needing crew and another for available crew. This was the first recorded crew list in the club. It was an unwritten rule that crew members would help work on the boat in the winter months and sometimes contribute financially to the running costs. At this time there was often a surplus of crew and failure to help out in these ways could mean your services being declined for the following season.
In June 1939 the last ferry boat sailed from Rock Ferry to Liverpool. The lack of the ferry now meant it was much harder for members travelling from Liverpool to reach the club and they had to rely on the train service.
The War Years.
War was declared in September 1939 and all club activity effectively ceased from this time.
War was declared in September 1939 and all club activity effectively ceased from this time. All boats had to be removed from the river and the adjacent yard to the club was filled to capacity. All flammable material had to be removed. Many Club members were called up to active duty, or served in the merchant navy or the Auxiliary Fire service and later the Home Guard.
A small committee continued to manage the club’s affairs. Members serving in the forces were exempt from paying their subscription and fees to other members were reduced and locker rents suspended. In 1940 the commodore informed a small meeting that the Royal Air Force balloon Barrage Boats were using the Rock Ferry Pier as a base and the clubhouse was to be commandeered and used as billets for the boats crews.
The club yard was commandeered by the Ministry of Fuel and piled high with tons of coke. The club house at this time was used to billet the RAF. A few meetings were held over the years in the club locker room, but it was not possible to hold any meetings in the evenings due to the blackout and the fact that in an air raid all transport was suspended. By 1942 the bottom bar of Donovan’s Pub (later the Admiral Pub) became the unofficial meeting place on Sunday mornings for all who could get time off work or was on leave.
During the heavy air raids on the Mersey over that time, the club came off very lightly subject to a few incendiary bombs, one through the roof of Bonds yard and onto the deck of yacht Moulette.
After The War.
After the war had ended in 1945, a meeting of the club was held at the Royal Rock hotel.
After the war had ended in 1945, a meeting of the club was held at the Royal Rock hotel. The chair informed the members that the Rock Ferry pier was to be demolished as the Ferry Service would not be restarting.
1960's.
Finally in the 1960s the club moved to its present home on Bedford Road East next door to the Admiral Pub, just a short walk from the top of the slipway.

Stuart Todd, Commodore from 1949 - 1952 and then again in 1959-1966 was the main driving force behind clearing the new site, acquiring and erecting the new clubhouse and supplying the dance floor. He had surrounded himself with a large gang of helpers including Dickie Richardson, John Edge, Len Dickinson, Owain Roberts and Eric Ford (treasurer).
This really started a golden age for the club with a cruising fleet of over 70 boats, Hilbre Class of 10 and dinghies over 40 plus social activities which included a new year party, Burns night, Ladies Dinner, Hotpot dinners all at the clubhouse with an annual dinner and prizegiving every year.
1980's.
In the late 1980s the Liverpool Marina was opened and had a major effect on the club.
In the late 1980s the Liverpool Marina was opened and had a major effect on the club. The Marina is much safer and inevitably members moved their boats there to be kept in safety rather than the moorings at Rock Ferry.
2000's.
The membership dwindled and the Liverpool Yacht Club became more dominant.
The membership dwindled and the Liverpool Yacht Club became more dominant. In 2008, the two clubs became affiliated and all members used to get the benefits of membership of both clubs. Social events were split and the Clubhouse is used for meetings and training.
2020's.
Early in the 2020’s Tranmere Sailing Club transferred the Administration of the IOM midnight race to LYC.
