Sail from Home
There are some great resources online to help you keep sailing from home during lockdown. We are going to share some of these videos throughout our closure to help keep you up to date, motivated and prepared to get back on the water when we can.

Team INEOS has had a rollercoaster ride which has had us on the edge of our seats. While unfortunately, it is now over for INEOS, you can rewatch the highs, lows and analysis by clicking the image.
The Americas Cup between Luna Rosa Prada Perilli and Team Emirates New Zealand starts March 6th. While we aren't in the final it will still be an amazing watch.

This video has some great tips for setting your mask rake & spreaders, the video shows a Laser 2000 but can be easily applied to other classes.

The Model Yacht Association have a great YouTube channel with highlights of their racing and an introduction to the sport.

The club YouTube channel has some of our zoom evenings available to rewatch and highlights of the Datchet Flyer.

Club Development Plan 2021 - 2023

The all-new training website
We have been working very hard to update the training website and are very excited to announce that it is now up and running, with courses for 2021 now available to book. We are still testing the site and would love your feedback & help in doing so. If you have any comments please do let us know, sailing@dwsc.co.uk.
We are also working on developing the rest of the website and look forward to updating you on the progress soon.

Datchet Water Sailing Club
Where membership matters

Walking through the club corridor there are wonderful "I love Sailing because" contributions from our juniors. We will feature some of these on the new website, and would also love some contribution from the adults. Please can you send your I love Sailing/Windsurfing/Wingfoiling because....to manager@dwsc.co.uk Thank you.
