Sailing takes place on the marine lake on weekday evenings between April and October and at weekends from April to December. There is also tidal sailing between April and October.
There are three tidal moored classes, Stars, Falcons and Hilbres which have organised races, usually at weekends according to the height and time of the tides. The dinghy classes use the marine lake in the evening during the week and either the tide or the lake at the weekends.

Based at Wraysbury on a 47 acre lake, one mile north-west of the M25/A30 Junction 13, the Club successfully combines instruction and recreational sailing with a strong racing ethos. Boat parking, launching and clubhouse facilities are second to none.
Racing is scheduled on every Sunday throughout the year and on Tuesday evenings in the summer months. The Enterprise fleet is the most competitive in the area and host to the Enterprise Assoc. Thames Valley Area race training programme. There is a thriving Laser fleet and growing Solo fleet. Many other classes are raced on handicap.
The Club has a wide variety of its own boats from which you can choose, to match your ability and personal preference. Unlimited use of club boats (first come - first serve), is free to members in their first year, and only £10 a year thereafter.
TOPPER: Ideal for the young - single seater Dinghy, the Topper guarantees to deliver something for everyone! She is so simple to rig and sail.
OPTIMIST: Great first time boat for the young, extremely stable.
SUNFISH: For those of you want to reminisce about the Caribbean.
LASER PICO: A breakthrough for beginner and family sailing, it's simple, fun and cool. Plus it's exceptionally strong.
LASER: Designed for speed-single seater Dinghy - good for the more experienced but easily sailed by the novice in suitable weather. The world's most popular sailing dinghy.
LASER (radial): As above but with a 5.7m Radial sail (compared to the 7.5m above), for use in strong winds, or for those not quite heavy enough for a full laser sail.
MEGABYTE: An excitingly fast yet stable boat with the option to take a crew.
ENTERPRISE: Good all round boat from the novice up to the expert - two seater Dinghy.
WANDERER: Good for the novice or for those who want a more stable boat, with a spinnaker.
WAYFARER WORLD GRP: New design of wayfarer - the well known teaching boat. With a large but easy to use asymmetric spinnaker. The largest club boat. Easily fits you and your family.
All the club boats offer the benefit of "getting started" without the need for your own when you join. On the other hand, if you do own a boat, you are more than welcome to sail or race it at the club, no matter what class it may be. If you choose, arrangements can be made to berth the boat in the boat park (space permitting).

Formed in 1972 Broadwater is an inland sailing club with coastal connections. More than 30 years after its formation, there are still some of the founder members around. A number of these have moved on to develop yachting interests, with cruisers berthed on the tidal waters of the East and South coasts. The Club is affiliated to the RYA and whilst not a teaching establishment, Broadwater has become a club for everyone who enjoys sailing - from youngsters learning the basics in Optimists and Toppers to experienced ''blue-water'' sailors. Broadwater Lake is situated close to the Grand Union Canal and the River Colne, once a gravel pit it is now a very attractive stretch of water providing one of the largest sailing lakes in the Thames Valley. The sailing area is nearly 1 km long and 3/4 km wide, with a line of islands dotted along one side.
There is a small nature reserve at one end attracting a variety of water birds. Until a few years ago there were number of shallows which affected parts of the sailing area. We had these removed in the late 1990''s, a move that was hailed by the members as the best value for money ever spent by the club. Broadwater is a friendly, informal club with sailing permitted seven days a week, enabling members ranging from casual cruisers to serious racers to co-exist without problems. This flexibility is the secret of the Club's continued success and probably explains why several clubs with dwindling numbers have merged with us in recent years.
The lake is suitable for dinghies up to about 16 ft. Catamarans, sailboards and leisure powerboats are not permitted to use the lake. Safety boats are operated at the weekend and during organised racing by members acting as Duty Officer on a rota. This involves each member giving up half a day on a Saturday or Sunday every 10-12 months instruction in the use of the boats is provided to new members

The Club is situated in the grounds of Coldham Hall Tavern and enjoys the riverside facilities provided therein. Coldham Hall is situated on the Yare and offers moorings to the many holidaycraft which now frequent the Southern Broadland Rivers during the holiday season. CHSC members have always enjoyed a friendly relationship with the landlord. Indeed it was thanks to the landlord that the club began its activities in 1951. Winter evenings it is used for committee meetings and the AGM is traditionally held in the dining room, one year this proved to be a problem as the pub had caught fire.
Club racing is held every Sunday morning from May to October. Dinghies and half-decked keel boats, round the cans and down river courses as per the race programme. Cruisers down river, alternate Sundays. Most racing is on a mixed handicap basis as members own a variety of boats. Predominant dinghies are Wayfarers (8) with a range of others, together with Norfolks (5) Yeomans (6) and River Cruisers (6). The Club owns two Wayfarer Dinghies, which are available for use by approved members.
