Parkstone Yacht Club Waszp Swarm

Welcome to the Parkstone Yacht Club Waszp Swarm, our fleet is one of the fastest-growing in the UK, with 26 boats and counting! Based at the fantastic facilities of Parkstone Yacht Club in Poole Harbour, we’re passionate about high-performance sailing and the unique thrill of foiling on these cutting-edge boats.

We sail regularly from Parkstone, making the most of the stunning local waters and ideal conditions for Waszp sailing. Whether it’s fleet racing, training sessions, or casual foiling fun, there’s always something happening in our Swarm.

We run an active training and coaching program for our members, which caters for all abilities! Reach out to us to learn more.

Beyond local sailing, we’re an active part of the wider Waszp community. Our sailors proudly represent Parkstone Yacht Club at official Waszp events across the UK and internationally.

Notable 2025 achievements for our members include:

Alex Jones claiming 7.5m rig World Champion,

Helena Mills Bowers claiming 2 top 10 finishes in a fiercely competitive Women's Spring Championship.

At the 2025 Nationals Alex Jones claimed 1st 7.5m rig, Helena Mills Bowers claimed 1st Women, Oscar Hoyle claimed 1st 6.5m rig. Tom Dempsey and Henry Keegan both delivered strong performances and James Broad took 2nd in the 7.5m rig, with Raffy Seddon and Daniel Cullen right in the mix.
