SAMM (the Sailing Association Mar Menor) can be regarded as the sailing Centre of the Mar Menor and surrounding district. Members and friends come from the local towns and other European countries to sail and socialise. Membership of one of the associated Groups is required to be able to sail one of their boats. The sailing groups are listed below by category, where you can find out all the latest news, race results, and social events.

You might not be able to sail out of CAR until April but you can watch Steve & Judy on their epic sail across the Atlantic. In this episode they visit some interesting islands along the way. You can find the -> LINK <- here or on the Home Page of the website.

 
 
 

There is a new section on the website homepage where I will put links to videos and articles of interest. I've been following a couple who have been sailing around the med for a number of years. In fact they were stranded in the mar menor during the covid pandemic for a couple of months if I recall correctly. They have now decided to sail the Atlantic and they will be posting at least one video each month. Some of you may have already seen last month's video, which I posted a few weeks back. I really enjoy watching their adventures and I hope you do too.

 
 
 

The Mar Menor

SAMM (Sailing Association Mar Menor), is based on the shores of the Mar Menor in Murcia, southern Spain. We have over 300 days of sunshine each year and the climate is perfect for sailing.

The Mar Menor (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈmar meˈnor], "Minor sea") is a salty lagoon, in the south-east of the autonomous community of Murcia, in Spain, separated from the Mediterranean Sea by La Manga, a sandbar 22 km in length and with a width ranging from 100 to 1,200 metres. It belongs to four municipalities: Cartagena, Los Alcázares, San Javier and San Pedro del Pinatar. With a surface area of nearly 170 km², a coastal length of 70 km, and warm and clear water no more than 7 metres in depth, it is the ideal location to go sailing. Its relatively high salinity, which aids flotation, and remarkable sporting infrastructures make this one of the most popular places in Europe for a wide variety of water sports. If you want to enjoy sailing on the Mar Menor, you can get in touch by using our Contact Page on this website or  email the secretary
