Carsington Membership add on
We have struck a deal with Carsingtion Sailing Club to allow TWC members to use the facilities there. This includes car parking, changing rooms with hot showers, and sailing on the large reservoir. This is a great opportunity for club members to get an introduction to sailing on larger water. Please refer to their website for opening times.

Note: You will need your own insurance to sail on Carsington, we would recommend joining the RYA which includes the necessary 3rd party insurance.

Annual renewal fees are cheaper as they don’t include the one-off joining fee. Renewal notices are sent out in February before the AGM.
- Single adult at £105
- Family membership at £140
- Carsington add on membership + £80
Insurance
The club RYA insurance covers all members and visitors for sailing on the lakes. This is 3rd party cover and covers the club equipment, members equipment and accidental personal injury. If anyone is interested in a boring legalistic read then we can send a copy of the policy by email.
Obviously if you want to use your equipment elsewhere then you’ll need either 3rd your own 3rd party cover or comprehensive cover. It’s a requirement for sailing at Carsington or Rutland and officially for SUPing on canals and rivers.
Another option is to join the RYA or British Canoeing. RYA costs £65 and includes insurance for windsurfing. British Canoeing costs £45 and includes insurance as well as a waterways licence – so useful for SUPers.
