• Windermere Class YachtsWelcome

    Our aim is to encourage and promote sailing and racing on Lake Windermere. We run an extensive racing programme from April to October, and social events throughout the year.

    The Club was founded in 1860, and was granted its Royal Warrant during Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee in 1887. We have occupied our present site at Bowness Bay since the 1880's. Our present club house was built in 1965.

Sailing Clubhouse from Windermere Lake side

Come and join us!

We are a sailing club with superb facilities, and an ideal location for sailing on England's largest lake, Windermere.

For over 150 years, the Royal Windermere Yacht Club has been at the centre of sailing on Windermere, and today maintains large and active fleets of keelboats and dinghies, and organises a full calendar of sailing and social events.

We exist to promote sailing and racing on Windermere, and we welcome people of all ages to get in touch and try the sport of sailing.
