Deviot Sailing Club is based on the beautiful Tamar River Estuary, about half way between Launceston and Low Head. The clubrooms are situated on the western shore of the river just under 2 nautical miles south of the Batman Bridge.
Club days are most Saturdays, from October through to late April. Deviot is an ideal location for sailing with reliable winds, a wide expanse of water, and the interest of some interesting tidal patterns.

Classes supported at Deviot
Deviot supports a range of classes from Sabots through to Trailable and Keel Boats. The aim is to provide healthy competition in a selection of classes suitable for a range of skills. Dinghy Classes currently active at Deviot are:
- Sabot
All other classes and keel boats / trailable yachts are welcome. Deviot Sailing Club prides itself on being a sailing club, if it sails then you are welcome. For those who like the challenge of racing against the clock or each other the club has a comprehensive race scoring system that judges all boats against their yardstick. The system further has a skipper handicap system that provides close competition throughout the season.
Prizes are awarded at the end of the season for Seasonal Championship and some individual races for both yardstick and skipper handicap scoring.
