About Us
UWSC is located on the A38 at Aztec Adventure’s activity centre off the Webbs of Wychbold roundabout. The lake is small and sheltered but sees plenty of action.
We sail and paddle throughout the year. Our Session Calendar gives the dates and times. Trained club members provide safety boat cover at every session supported by an assistant and sometimes a race officer. All members take turns in doing this on a rota system. We have access to a classroom with facilities to make tea and coffee and there are excellent changing rooms and showers on site. We are a small club so easy to get to know everyone.
Sailing
The club sails and races on Tuesday and Saturday evenings during the summer and two Sunday mornings a month (the 2nd and 4th Sunday), throughout the year. We sail a mixed fleet which includes lasers, comets, solos and toppers. Our sailors are competitive but they are a friendly bunch and support each other. Although most of our members enjoy racing, we have a few sailors who prefer to just cruise around the lake.
We are unable to offer training so ask that sailors have a RYA 2 qualification or similar experience before joining as a sailor. If you have not sailed before you may like to contact Aztec Adventure who run RYA courses throughout the year. During Club sessions you will be able to sail the dinghies that Aztec use for training, or if you are fortunate enough to have your own dinghy, we do have a boat park.
Stand-up Paddleboarding
The perimeter of the lake is very sheltered which makes it very suitable for paddleboarding, but it is a new activity for the club. Whilst Aztec Adventure do own paddleboards that all club members can use, the boards are frequently not available during club sessions, so it is essential that our SUP members have their own boards. Members can paddle on Saturday evenings during summer (from 5pm to 7pm) and two Sunday mornings a month throughout the year.
[Just to be clear, you need a sailing qualification to sail a dinghy and you also need to join as a sailing member. If you are a sailing member you can also paddleboard so long as you are competent on a board.]
Please come to Aztec Adventure Upton Warren Centre if you would like to meet us. You will find us in the building by the boat park during club sessions. Or contact the membership secretary if you have any questions
