Swarkestone Sailing Club is situated a few miles
south of Derby. We are a small and friendly club
with about 140 members. Most of the organised
activities take place on a Sunday, or on a
Wednesday evening during the summer months, but
members are free to sail at other times as
convenient to them. Members sail dinghies and
windsurfers, but not the more high performance
asymmetrics or catamarans. The lake, which we
share with an angling club, is about 80 acres,
with our longest shore to shore distance being
about just over a kilometre. Most of the water
can be sailed on, although there are a few
shallow patches. We sail through most of the
year, with a variety of races and series
organised. We welcome and have facilities and
equipment for both disabled sailors and juniors.
A particular feature of the club is the ease of
access to the water from a stable pontoon.
