Welcome to South Windermere Sailing Club
Our family friendly club has been on the shore of Windermere since 1961. In 2022 we moved to our new location at North Camp on the west shore of Windermere.
Our aim is to provide a friendly club that encourages both adults and juniors to have fun on the water. We offer competitive racing in a variety of formats, plus opportunities for informal training and sailing with safety cover on Saturday mornings as well as social sailing events.
The sailing program is complemented by a number of social events that take place in our outstanding setting on South Windermere.
