A small group of people led by Sir Charles Barratt had the vision of a sailing club on the reservoir and in 1968 called for a meeting of interested people by public notice in the local Press to be held in the Rugby Benn Memorial Hall. Bearing that there was little water in the reservoir at that time the response was overwhelming which encouraged those founder members to approach Rugby Water Board and negotiate a lease which resulted in Draycote Water Sailing Club coming into being in 1969.
Our Sailing Club is based within the grounds of Draycote Water Country Park which is owned by Severn Trent Water and managed by a team of rangers.
