  • Why Choose Island Barn Reservoir Sailing Club?

    Family-Friendly Atmosphere
    At Island Barn Reservoir Sailing Club, we are renowned for being one of the friendliest sailing clubs around. Our community is not just about the thrill of the wind and waves; it's about building relationships and creating lasting memories with like-minded individuals.

    Member-Centric Approach
    We operate on the principle of being run by the members, for the members. This means that your voice matters. We actively involve our members in decision-making processes, ensuring that the club reflects the desires and needs of its sailing enthusiasts.

    Affordable Memberships
    We believe that the joy of sailing should be accessible to everyone. Our membership fees are significantly lower than those of similar clubs, offering various membership types tailored to suit families, juniors, and racing enthusiasts. Additionally, we understand the importance of flexibility, offering convenient monthly payment options.

    Access to Club Boats
    Take advantage of our extensive fleet of over 60 boats, ranging from classes suitable for juniors to adults and beginners to seasoned racers. Club boats are available to use for free for members paying a berthing fee or for just £99 per year for those without a berth.

    State-of-the-Art Facilities
    Our club boasts top-notch facilities to enhance your overall sailing experience. From a modern clubhouse to a well-equipped galley and cafe, a cozy bar, spacious changing rooms, and dedicated training and workshop spaces – we've got it all covered.

    Thrilling Club Racing
    For those seeking the thrill of competition, our club offers year-round Sunday racing, with additional Saturday races during the spring and summer months. Plus, our Wednesday evening series from April to August provides a midweek racing fix for enthusiasts.

    Leisurely Cruising
    Not into racing? No problem! Our cruising option allows you to enjoy the serene waters without the pressure of competition. Cruise whenever the club is open, and even outside of opening times with a minimum of two boats helmed by adults for safety.

    Social Events
    Join us for Friendly Fridays – monthly social sailing, BBQs, powerboating, and drinks during the summer. Our social calendar extends from Christmas to summer dances, ensuring there's always an opportunity to connect with fellow sailing enthusiasts.

    Professional Sailing Lessons
    As an RYA Recognised Training Centre, we offer sailing lessons delivered by the club as well as our partnership with Keep Sailing professional coaching. Whether you're a total beginner or aspire to join the RYA's Olympic schemes, our adult and junior courses cater to all skill levels.

    Diverse Water Activities
    At Island Barn Reservoir Sailing Club, we encourage the use of the water beyond traditional sailing. Explore our club kayaks and SUPs, and join enthusiastic groups engaging in paddleboarding, windsurfing, foil, and wing boarding.


    Join us at Island Barn Reservoir Sailing Club and embark on a journey where the wind meets the waves, friendships are forged, and the love for sailing knows no bounds. We look forward to welcoming you aboard!
