Discover Sailing 2026


Dovestone Sailing Club is hosting its annual Discover Sailing Open Day on Saturday 16 May from 10am to 4.30 pm. If you've walked around Dovestone Reservoir and thought it would be fun to get out on the water, now's your chance. You can book a timed slot using this link or by using the events tab above. You will get a 30 minute taster sail with an experienced sailor and refreshments afterwards.

This event is part of the Royal Yachting Association’s Discover Sailing initiative. The club will also be running RYA Dinghy training courses in May/June if you decide you’d like to take things further.

Join the club

It's easy to join - just fill out this online form. You don't need a boat straightaway. Borrow a club boat, or crew for another member. When you are ready to buy a boat it doesn't need to cost an arm and a leg, there are lots of second-hand bargains to be had.

If you've walked around the lake and often fancied yourself bobbing about in one of the boats then what are you waiting for - join today and you'll be sailing by the weekend.
