Club Membership

At Draycote Water Sailing Club we pride ourselves on being a professionally run Club offering high level facilities by a team of permanent staff, meaning that all our member’s have to do is turn up and sail!

We cater for all sailors and windsurfers, so whether you’re at beginner or advanced stages (we have members at national and international levels), young or old, want to race or sail leisurely, our Club has something for you.

Our active and involved committee are always on the ball with improvements and developments for the Club to keep us at the forefront of the British sailing scene.
