Sailing Club Only - Sail Boat (Half day)

Sail Boat Launch for Llandegfedd Sailing club Members ONLY!

Launch your own sail boat on the lake in a controlled and safe environment, whilst enjoying the stunning views! We have a control boat on the water whenever Watersports activity is taking place, which can provide assistance if required. Please read the minimum requirements to ensure your craft is suitable.

Please be aware that all members MUST have 3rd party liability insurance, which will need to be shown on check-in and must wear a buoyancy aid or lifejacket at all times when on the water.

Weather:

Safety is our number one priority. In the event of poor weather conditions (e.g. strong winds or thunder and lightning) or other incidents we reserve the right to restrict water access to particular user groups, restrict the area available for activities, cancel sessions or close the lake. We will endeavour to give advance notice whenever possible; however sometimes decisions need to be made at short notice. If we close the lake, we will add a message to our website and endeavour to contact all customers impacted.
