Datchet Water Sailing Club

Welcome to Datchet Water Sailing Club - the family-friendly racing club West of London Datchet Water Sailing Club is a modern club set on a large inland reservoir (Queen Mother Reservoir) providing a complete package for every type of sailor. It is set with magnificent views overlooking Windsor Castle, with easy access from M3 , M4, M25 & M40 and close to Heathrow Airport. The sailing water is 475 acres or about 1km in diameter - making it one of the largest inland areas West of London. It's large and flexible enough to provide year round sailing for all boat classes and ideal for hosting sailing events of all levels from junior, club through to large international events.

 

Facilities The club has everything required on-site. The waterside clubhouse provides a bar, catering, a newly completed lounge and conference facility offering panoramic views of the entire reservoir. This is great for family and friends to watch the action on the water. In addition there is a professional on site Chandlery (Purple Marine), Sailing School (Datchet Watersports) and extensive car and boat parking facilities. A complete package for family or keen race circuit sailors.

On Wednesday evenings during the summer, there is a very popular handicap series for everyone of all abilities to join in. This is a great way to break up the week. Sunday is the day when the main class racing series takes place. This runs throughout the year alongside numerous national and international events.
