Your questions answered and application forms.
If you would like to speak to a club member and see the club facilities before committing to membership please feel free to visit the clubhouse on a Sunday when racing is scheduled to take place. There will usually be members on site from around 10am on those days who will be happy to answer your questions. Alternatively, contact our Membership Secretary using the address at the bottom of the page.
| When can I sail? | We are almost unique amongst sailing clubs in that you can sail your own boat or club boats at pretty much any time, any day of the week between sunrise and sunset. During organised racing, cruising is at the discretion of the Race Officer Juniors must to be supervised by a parent/guardian |
| Can I use the Clubhouse? | Yes – members are given the key code so you can access the dinghy park and clubhouse any time you like. |
| Can I use the Club boats? | Yes any competent member can book and use the club boats at no charge. We have an online first come first served booking system. Boats will not be available during the Youth Group Sailing on Sunday afternoons in summer and while courses are being run. |
| How does the Club work? | We are a member’s club, run by the members for the members, and so you will need to do at least one “duty” each year. Duties include: race duties, support for Saturday sailing, help with the Youth Group and club maintenance. Duties are co-ordinated using “DutyMan” software: you get to sign up for a duty (or duties) to suit you. |
| Can I join in the racing? | Yes, there is official racing on Sundays from April to November (and more casual racing through the winter) and on Wednesday evenings when there is enough light. Racing is keen and competitive, but not officious. Novices are welcome and special allowances are made for the less experienced. We offer a range of different styles of races. You can see the race calendar on the home page and there is a wealth of useful information on the Racing pages. |
| Can I berth my own boat at the club? | Yes – berthing for one boat is included in the membership fee and there is a small fee for berthing additional boats. It is obligatory to have 3rd party insurance cover for your boat at all times. Please not that only boats with an overall length not exceeding 15 feet and with a mast height less than 25 feet are permitted on the lake due to the terms of the lease. The size and depth of the lake also prohibit the use of certain types of high performance sail boats. |
| Who can I speak to for more information | Please contact the membership secretary at the email address in the footer or pop along to the clubhouse any Sunday between 10am and 4pm in the summer (10am to 1pm) in the summer when there are usually several club members around and who would be happy to show you around and answer your questions. |
