Welcome

Maidenhead Sailing Club is a member only club, located just to the North of the Thames side town of Maidenhead, on a gravel pit.  We have available to us 51 acres of water that overlooks the countryside of Berkshire and South Buckinghamshire.  Sailing and Paddlesports are available all year round, with events and coaching and available.  We are a family oriented club, with sailing to satisfy all members of the family. There is a strong Youth and Juniors section.  It is possible to sail your own boat or use your paddleboard, kayak etc   at anytime.  Boats and boards are available to hire dependant on ability....  New members are always welcome.

A massive congratulations to all those Y&J's who took part in the Topper London and South East Zone championships at Datchet SC last weekend. The results were very impressive and you guys represented the club brilliantly. Considering that we all sail in a fairly shallow small lake each of you made the transition to a large deeper expanse of water brilliantly. The event drew some of the best sailors from all over the Southern and Eastern counties, a huge catchment. To have 3 boats in the top 10 is a brilliant result, no other club had 3 boats in the top 10 and really puts the achievements into perspective.

If you haven't managed a sail this summer, the Night Sail is a good one to finish on, so come down and join in the fun. Or just come down to watch. It's a relaxing way to spend an evening.

Happy sailing,

See you on the water,
