Windsurfing is a great athletic sport for young and old. Whether you are just starting out or are an expert windsurfer Draycote is the ideal venue. 

With over 650 acres of exposed water Draycote has the most steady, uninterrupted winds.

There are full facilities available 364 days a year. RYA training courses and full time professional rescue are provided.  On the shore our Clubhouse has changing rooms, hot showers, a lounge bar and chandlery.

Windsurfers have the best piece of foreshore allocated for their use.  You can park adjacent to the launching area and rig your kit on smooth grass. The launching point is ideally positioned for the prevailing west and south westerly winds.  There is a friendly community spirit amongst the windsurfers. Modern wetsuits (and global warming?) mean that it really is feasible to windsurf throughout the year.

Your entry into the sport should be through an RYA training course run by OnBoard.  For membership contact the office.  For other windsurfing questions please contact the windsurfing fleet captain.
