Sailing Venues:
Radipole Lake:
The club has arrangements with the council to use this lake which is situated in central Weymouth. Sailing of model boats takes place south of the Swannery bridge.
There is a car park adjacent to the lake and if you don’t mind carrying your boat a little further parking in the south corner of the large Swannery carpark north of the Swannery bridge is a little cheaper.
Please use the contact form if you are interested in sailing at Radipole.
The winter season 2026-2027 has resumed and will run each Sunday (except over Xmas)…
Notification of cancelled cailing will be notified on the club WhatsApp Group.
9°C Mangerton Mill:
We visit this pond at the invitation of the Mill’s owner. Situated ~2.5miles north of Bridport near the village of Bradpole, follow signs off the Beaminster road.
There are usually 14 sailing days there a year. This is a pleasant rural location in the Manger valley. The mill is now run as a tourist attraction and has a tea room, selction of art & craft shops and toilets.
The venue is the ideal venue for casual sailing. On our allocated days we have all day to sail, ususally starting from about 10:00am ( all depending on the weather!). The venue’s location and facilities provide enough interest for a family day out.

The season at Mangerton has now closed …. dates for 2027 will be published early March.
9°C Symondsbury:
The lake is on private land with access agreed with the owner.
Club sailing days are arranged here every Wednesday, generally from mid March to the end of October – weather dependent!
Access to the pond is good as cars can be taken near to the lake. However the site should be avoided after heavy or sustained rain to avoid tearing up the grass. Users must ensure that the gate to the site is closed and secure as the farmer does have livestock in the field. This venue does have toilets.
Sailing usually starts about 10:00am to about 14:00pm or until the weather deteriorate!
