Welcome to Ullswater Yacht Club

If you want to learn to sail, improve your racing or simply want to cruise Cumbria’s ‘loveliest of lakes’, UYC offers an unrivalled scenic location and a very warm welcome.
We are a friendly, family-orientated club welcoming anyone with an interest in sailing. Whether it’s an introduction to sailing, RYA training, or competitive racing you’re after, we have it all.
Perhaps some days you don’t want to sail or members of the family want to do something different. Beautiful fells surround our club, with good access for walking and mountain biking.
We have a busy club programme with something for everyone, run national sailing events, an annual sail camp for youngsters, have junior fleets, there’s a super kitchen and bar facilities, we could go on…

The perfect choice

One thing that the pandemic has done is made people appreciate the great outdoors. So if you are considering learning a new outdoor sport that is ideal for all the family, where you can camp on site and take advantage of the expert tuition and great clubhouse and its facilities, UYC is the perfect choice.

Ullswater Yacht Club offers such a wide range of facilities not only the great sailing and teaching but so much more. Our membership covers people of all ages and abilities and offers a great opportunity to meet like-minded families/individuals who may decide to sail during the day then go mountain biking on the fell behind the club. It’s the perfect lifestyle choice for you and the family! For more details please look at the ‘Joining Us’ section, link here:
