Map
Water: Windermere Lake is 10.5 miles long and up to 1.5 miles wide and has a reasonably constant water level. Several islands and rock outcrops just below the surface pose some problems, but all shallows are clearly buoyed.
Surroundings: Hills and woodlands – beautiful lake scenery.
Facilities: Attractive modern clubhouse, comprising cloakrooms and showering facilities and a bar overlooking the lake. Race day catering facilities.
Launching: Club slipway. All Fifteens are dry sailed.
General: Winds are changeable in both direction and strength, the most satisfactory being N, NW, S and SW. Anything easterly tends to give squalls and flat patches. Holiday members by prior arrangement.
