About Us

Coniston Sailing club is located on the North West shore of Coniston lake, across the bay from Coniston Boating Centre. It is Next to Coniston Old Hall, which is a 16th Century farmhouse, providing a campsite for people to stay nearby (this is run by Coniston Farm, not the sailing club).

Coniston Sailing Club has a varied calendar of organised sailing events, junior training, open meetings; as well as both cruiser and dinghy series races on Sundays, and Wednesday night dinghy series open to all members. For more details see the 2011 programme.

Our Club facilities include Car Parking, dinghy storage, mooring pontoon, changing rooms with showers, a welcoming bar, together with kitchen and cooking facilities.

Coniston Water is approximately 8.5 km long and 0.8 km wide at its widest point. It is subject to a speed limit of 10 MPH for motorised vessels (anything with an engine). It also has 3 ferrys, which can be caught from the boating centre and go to different areas of the lake.

In addition to the sailing programme, the Club hosts many social functions throughout the season, both on and off the water. Shoreside barbeques, talent nights, Gondola cruises to name but a few.

New members and visitors are welcome to our Club. To see details of Membership fees and temporary memberships for visitors, go to our Membership page for details.
