Don’t go beyond the rope when dinghies are sailing!

From April to September, Clevedon Sailing Club runs weekly lake sessions for novice sailors on Friday from 6pm – and will be running an RYA course across May and June on Saturdays from 10am.

These sessions are for young sailors who are learning how to control their craft – thus aren’t yet able to consistently steer clear of unexpected swimmers or canoeists or to cope with sudden gusts of wind.

For safety’s sake, during sailing sessions on the lake, all other lake users (swimmers, SUPs, canoes) are kindly requested to stay at the island end of Clevedon Marine Lake.

A rope with floats will be attached across the lake to segregate the sailing dinghies from other lake users, creating a safe area, around the island and toward the pumphouse steps, for swimmers and other users.  The designated sailing area, the other side of the rope is out of bounds for any other users.  The rope will be clearly visible and is intended to protect all lake users during sailing dinghy sessions – sailors and other users alike.

It’s a good idea to keep an eye on the lake calendar when planning your visit.
