Facilities

From simple beginnings it has grown over the years and now has a clubhouse with a large clubroom/galley and changing rooms with showers etc.   All members may have keys to the entrance gate and clubhouse and are free to enjoy the facilities at all times.
We have a number of club boats available for members use (free of charge) at all times.
These include: Oppy, Topper, Kestrel, Laser, GP 14, Pacer, Lark, Laser Pico and 420. 
Responsibility for children at the club remains with the parents.

Learning to sail at Paxton Lakes

We are an RYA Recognised Training Centre and run various courses over the year. Club members are eligible for a discount. 
All you need for the course is a change of clothes, soft soled shoes and, if possible, waterproof jacket and trousers.  After the course you can use the club boats for free.

Racing

Organised racing takes place most weekends from late March to mid-December, either Saturday or Sunday and on Wednesday evenings during the summer.   All classes of monohull dinghies under 17ft in length and that have an RYA rating are accepted. 
Races are normally of one hour duration and in summer start at 11.00. 13.00 & 14.30.  Classes regularly raced include Laser, Laser Radial, Solo, Streaker, Tera, Kestrel, Mirror, Lark, Fireball, Topper, and Oppie.  Junior racing is in our programme and actively encouraged.

Youth

We have an active youth section, with separate prizes for most of our racing and some dedicated events with specialised training.  Our youths often represent the club at the Cambridgeshire Youth League races.  They also progress onto joining the Cambridgeshire Schools and Youth Sailing Association and represent the county at national championship events.
