Club info:Datchet Water is a circular 475 acre sailing area, with a 3.2 mile boundary
and is 75 ft deep, similar size to Queen Mary. It is a raised reservoir
therefore has a relatively undisturbed air flow over it (ie. no trees/hills
to cause any surprise capsizes !). Launching is very safe and easy.
The water level is at its maximum which provides a massive sailing area.

The club has a fleet of 10 Contenders and a pedigree of holding some of the
biggest Inland events - 18ft skiffs, Symmetric Grand Prix, 420 Inlands etc.
