Upper Tamar Lake Sailing Club – Small friendly sailing club, based at Upper Tamar Lake, with dinghy racing, cruising and a busy social programme

The UTLSC is a small friendly club based at Upper Tamar Lake, which is a South West Water Authority reservoir straddling the border between Devon and Cornwall, near Bude. The club organises regular dinghy racing on Sundays from March until mid-November, with races starting at midday and 2:30pm, with time for lunch and a chat in between. On Wednesday afternoons during Summer and early Autumn, members often cruise at the lake, with less formal races during the summer months. A wide range of dinghies take part in the racing, including Lasers, Toppers, Solos and Bosuns. We also organise a varied social programme (especially during the coldest part of the year!) including walks, cycling, skittles, archery, quizzes and so on.

New members are always very welcome. Inexperienced sailors are often welcome as crew on double-handed boats. Although most club members have their own boats, there are also club boats available to members for a small fee, including single-handed Toppers and two- person Bosuns
