The sailing club was formed in 1949 and has a formal agreement with Canal & River Trust (the owners of the reservoir) to use the entire water for sailing 7 days a week.
The main activity of the club is racing which normally takes place on Sundays from March until Mid December. There are other times less frequently for training courses etc.
The race course is determined by the wind direction and will involve some or all of the marker buoys. The course taken from one buoy to another will not necessarily be a straight line as this will also be determined by the wind direction.
Race duration is approximately 40/50 minutes with a starting procedure of about 5 minutes. A circuit or lap is between 10 and 15 minutes, so activity around a buoy is 4 or 5 times per race.
