Stavanger Sailing Association was founded in 1906, and is thus one of the oldest sailing associations in the country. Since the beginning, the association has had its own premises and port facilities at Sølyst - an idyllic place, almost in the middle of Stavanger.
Our dinghy facilities are some of the most beautiful in the country. Our Optimist dinghies are diligently used during the season in connection with the Sailing School's training in sailing for children and young people. Already at the age of 9-10, the sailors of the future are recruited in the district. An active European dinghy environment is a natural sequel to Optimisten. For adults, the two-man dinghy Snipe is attractive in a regatta context. We also have a number of Laser and Yngling sailors.
The wharf facilities in the harbor at Sølyst have a capacity of approx. 200 boats. Here you will find all types of sailors. Regatta sailors and touring and sea sailors. The port facility is constantly exposed to wear and tear from wind and waves and must therefore be maintained regularly. In addition to the slipway, member workshop, drying loft and service jetty, you will find Klubbhuset and Skipperstuen with pleasant fellow sailors ready for a cup of coffee and a drink.
We also have our own operations manager who has an office in Skipperstuen. Opening hours and contact details can be found at the bottom of the page.
The sailing association's gem in Ryfylke is called Langøy . Here, many sailors have stopped by during the 90 years the cabin has been owned by the association. Langøy is located close to Reilstad on Finnøy only 11-12 nm from Sølyst. It takes approx. two hours to sail in there and most often it is a struggle to receive the mooring whether you come as a new or old sailor here. The annual sailing camp for children and young people is held here. Then there is life and movement on and around the island with many young promising sailors.
Throughout the years, the Stavanger Sailing Association has marked itself as a center of gravity within the sailing community - first and foremost in our own region, but also on a national basis. With a membership of almost a thousand, Stavanger Sailing Association is also one of the largest sailing associations in Norway.
