Surroundings: The Cotswold Water Park is an area with priority for recreation and conservation 50% larger than the Norfolk Broads. Within the Water Park there are 132 lakes of varying sizes that have been formed from the flooded gravel workings at the head of the Thames Valley. Most of the lakes are given over to water sports, recreational use or nature conservation.
Water: SCSC is situated on the largest lake in the Water Park with some 130 acres of deep water available all year for setting a variety of courses to suit all wind directions.
Facilities: Modern clubhouse with bar and showers. The Club has a longstanding family atmosphere based on a very active Cadet Squadron; tea and light refreshments are available during the season. Visitors are always welcome.
Racing: Sailing takes place from March to October with Class racing on Sundays and handicap races on Saturdays and Wednesday evenings. There is a frostbite series on Sunday mornings during November and December.
Launching: By crane or slipway. A new, purpose-built slipway is in the process of construction to provide quick and easy launching and recovery from trailers or trolleys. Boats are parked on hard level ground close to the slipway.
