Queen Mary Sailing Club
One of the premier inland dinghy and
windsurfing racing clubs, Queen Mary's large sailing water
is ideal for racing or just having fun.
The reservoir is man-made and so the
surface is 45ft above the surrounding countryside giving good
unobstructed wind over the 700 acres.
There is a large clubhouse with changing rooms, hot showers, wet bar, lounge, bar and restaurant. Our caterers, Sarah and her team from Myers catering offer a wide range of delicious freshly cooked food all day Saturday and Sunday.
There are two boat hoists and a drag winch to help members launch and recover their boats.
The club is professionally staffed
with safety at all times that the water is open, and our staff
will be delighted to show you around the club and explain
membership options to you. You will not be expected to do
duties in the galley and in the safety boats as this is all
done professionally, but there are plenty of opportunities
to get involved in club life.
As a member you can sail whenever the club is open, store your boat or board in the boat park, use the club house facilities at any time, and attend club social events. There are also club member discounts on out training centre courses and boat hire.
Day Sailing
You can bring your own boat or board and sail at Queen Mary whenever the club is open by paying a day sailing fee in the office.
