The Inland Sea

Datchet has grown since its formation in 1976, into one of the most successful sailing clubs in the country. Within its 3.2 mile boundary, which is 66 feet above the surrounding ground level, there are some 475 acres of sailing water (8,300 million gallons when London is not too thirsty!). It is deep, over 75 feet when full, and offers excellent sailing.
