Queen Mary Sailing Club Announces Plans to Launch Coastal Rowing on the Reservoir …and we need your help to make it happen. Everyone who completes our short survey will be invited to the launch party.

There is something wonderful about a body of water sitting right in front of you, full of possibility. Queen Mary Sailing Club has been making the most of our magnificent reservoir for many years and now we would like to make even more of it. We are excited to announce that QMSC is considering launching a brand-new coastal rowing facility, bringing oars to our water for the very first time.

This is a significant and exciting step for the club, and we want our community of members, sailing courses participants, families, and friends of QMSC to be part of it from the very beginning.

School's out soon. We've got junior sailing and windsurfing courses through the summer — multi-day, all abilities, ages 8–15.

What makes QM a bit different: it's a proper sailing club (not just a course provider), which means kids who catch the bug can join as members, keep coming back, and even work towards becoming instructors get race ready for University Sailing.

Group booking? You'll save 10% when you book three or more courses.
Youth Select members save 25%.

Demo Day Update

We're sorry to share that the wind forecast for Sunday has not improved, and we have made the difficult decision to cancel the event.

Thank you for your understanding and support. We'll be announcing new demo dates, so please keep an eye on our website and social channels for updates.

We look forward to seeing you on the water soon!
