Welcome to the Sailing Section of Stewartby Water Sports Club |
Based on the 200 acre Stewartby Lake, SWSC’s Sailing Section has access to one of the largest stretches of water for sailing in the area. We share the lake with our angling, water-skiing and powerboat colleagues with ample room for all. Details of these activities can be found on the club’s main website.
This site will help you to learn more about the sailing activities at the club and how you can get involved. We offer everything from recreational sailing through to fast-paced dinghy racing; and beginner courses for adults & children to performance sailing coaching.
Take a look around the site. If you have any questions get in touch, or come along meet us in person.

Fastnet Week 8 – Sunday 21st June – Father’s Day
Posted by RacingCoord on: Wednesday 24 June @ 13:39:00 |
 The weather was near perfect this last weekend drawing out on to the water 27 boats over the course of the day. Race Officer Kevin Edwins laid on 3 great courses that resulted in some good racing throughout the fleet. The reaching legs saw Phantoms and RS200 make the most of the breeze, with almost 600m upwind leg resulting in close competition from the Lasers and Solos.
At the end of day, Mark Norman Picked up two firsts and a second and Steve and Ruth Ivory two seconds and a first. Working hard all day and showing a great deal of promise in boats they’re clearly getting used to were Karl Pountney (Phantom) and Harry Jordan (Laser) who clocked up impressive results in the first two races.
