A great, family-friendly sailing club based on one of the largest and most beautiful inland sailing waters in the south east, Bough Beech offers sailing for everyone, no matter what their age or level of experience. The club is run by its members and has well-supported programmes to develop young sailors as well as teaching adults.
For the more experienced, there is a vibrant racing scene with club races and open meetings throughout the year, as well as a keen windsurfing group. The club introduced Stand Up Paddle board activity in 2018. It is also a very pleasant place just to go for a sail. The sheltered boat park has easy access to the water for launching and the clubhouse offers hot meals, drinks and snacks at the weekends, and a bar.

This is my experience: After attending a Push The Boat Out day in May 2017 I joined this club primarily to windsurf, the venue is great with an open aspect to the south east so the prevailing wind is uninterrupted. Most club members are friendly. There were a small group of windsurfers. One or two regulars and about 5 who had a go twice a year or so. I have a background in sailing and although inexperienced at windsurfing am very confident on the water. Despite my background I found it a difficult environment to sail in. The primary reason for this is because the club holds many dinghy races mainly
