Beautiful location, great facilities

Overlooking Carsington Reservoir, the Clubhouse has a large balcony area with superb views over the water and the surrounding countryside.

Members and their visitors can sit, relax and watch all the activities taking place on the water.

In addition to all the on-water sailing, there are plenty of leisure opportunities both adjacent to the Club and in the surrounding area.

For families, as well as being able to cycle and walk around the reservoir, there is a very popular visitor centre, adjacent to Club with a large open grassy area, plus a large dedicated play area with lots of apparatus for youngsters to play on.

Youth Courses are published on the website. Alternatively, please contact the office, Wednesdays to Sundays,  for details: (01629 540609)

The Club pursues a sailing development plan to compliment the more formalised Youth RYA curriculum.
These challenge young Sailors to develop more advanced skills such as handling spinnakers, racing and an introduction into other classes of dinghy.

For the more adventurous sailor the opportunities exist to progress into the regional and RYA zone squads, as well as taking part in more localised events with Derbyshire Youth Sailing.
