Club Management & Facilities

Club Facilities

The clubhouse is a really excellent facility providing large warm changing rooms with hot showers, a spacious ‘wet’ club room, and a well-equipped galley. The recent extension provides a large carpeted dry area with comfy chairs and picture windows, and even free WiFi, – ideal for visitors and spectators, but also useful for training events, and for our evening social functions.  And finally – just in case, – we have first aid equipment on-hand, including a defibrillator.

The reservoir is approximately 120 acres, and being roughly L-shaped it provides good racing / sailing with most wind directions. We race on most Sundays throughout the year, and on Thursday evenings during the summer, but we also free-sail or run training on Saturdays and weekday evenings .  Racing is always managed from our dedicated Committee Boat, and is supported by a range of capable and radio-equipped safety craft.  Most members own their own boats (stored in our dinghy-park), but we have an extensive  range of club-owned dinghies to support training, and these may also be hired by club members for racing or free-sailing.  We can also provide buoyancy jackets, life-jackets and some wet gear.
