Winsford Flash Sailing Club is situated on Winsford Flash just south
of Winsford, which is just about as close as you can get to the centre of
Cheshire.
The 'Flash' itself is a 90-acre lake situated in rural surroundings by the
River Weaver.
The Club has ample car and dinghy parking space. Launching is by
concrete slipways, which, combined with the fixed jetties, provide one of the
most civilized dingy launching facilities in the North West. However, for
those who like getting their feet wet, there is a gravel launching 'beach'.
The Clubhouse is a modern, two-storey, centrally-heated building with
spacious clubroom, bar/lounge area, changing rooms with showers and a
well-equipped galley.
During the sailing season, we have organised racing on Sundays and on
Wednesday evenings. While Wednesday evening races tend to be more relaxed,
all Club races are open to all ability levels. You'll find a warm welcome and
good, competitive sailing whether you're a beginner or a champion.
The main clubroom and bar/lounge area overlook the lake so that spectators
can enjoy the sailing as much as the participants (sometimes more). The Club
has a reputation for being family-friendly and, in addition to the sailing
programme; we have an active social calendar.
We offer members a range of training activities for juniors and adults
- ranging from basic training and race training to safety boat handling and
race management.
The Club has a number of training boats, two safety boats and a
committee boat for race management.
