The Sailing Club’s future
After an extended legal case, and a change in the circumstances due to the financial impact of the Towns Funding for Ashfield, the Club will vacate the clubhouse & site when our new extended lease comes to an end on 30th September 2022. Ashfield District Councel have stated an intention to redevelop the whole site and construct a new commercial Water Sports Centre on the land we currently occupy
About our Club
We are located at Kings Mill Reservoir just off the A38 - A617 Junction between Mansfield and Sutton In Ashfield, Nottinghamshire. Kings Mill Reservoir, which is also a nature reserve, is an excellent small sailing water with nine marks allowing for a variety of courses for all conditions.
COVID-19 Restrictions
Whilst the current Coronavirus is still a potent threat to life, even though relaxations are now in place enough to allow resumption of Casual Sailing & Racing, we have to restrict activities in according with our Risk Assessments, which can be viewed by clicking the COVID-19 header above

Club Facilities
The club has a clubhouse with kitchen, bar, wood burning fire & toilets. There is a separate changing room block with male & female toilets and shower room facilities.
Discover Sailing Sessions
Our normal sailing programme includes regular Taster Sessions for newbies who’ve never sailed before to try sailing, by crewing a double handed boat with an experienced club member at a cost of £20 per family per session. From there, there is the opportunity to get trained and qualified to sail through our RYA Accredited Training Courses.
