Home
Situated, lakeside, in the private Welbeck Estate, we welcome both beginners and accomplished helms.
We sail a menagerie dinghy fleet comprising Lasers, Mirrors, Enterprises,
Wayfarers, Toppers and more. The emphasis being on family sailing and enjoyment
rather than cut-throat competition. Nevertheless, some of our members compete
elsewhere with considerable success.
