Junior Sailing Restart 12th September

 

Dear Juniors,
The plan is to restart Junior Sailing on the 12th September and run through to the 3rd October - usual time 1330 at the club. The intention is to do the RYA Stage Certificates on the 3rd October.
We hope you had a good August and look forward to seeing you in September to round off the year. If you are interested in crewing or sailing in the winter series let me know and I will try and pair you up with a helm, or support if you want to race on your own when the winter series starts.
 
Looking for a bit more wind and some fun sailing,
Tim and the Junior Sailing team.

New Landlord

Dear Broadwater SC Members
Broadwater Lake is now owned by the London Borough of Hillingdon. Broadwater SC will now get a 3 year lease agreement to continue to operate from our current location at Broadwater Lake until the new facility is completed. We will then move to the new facility with a new long term lease.

The Future for Broadwater Sailing Club at Broadwater Lake

Planning Application 2382/APP/2023/2906 (revised November 2025) to build the Hillingdon Water Sports Facility and Activity Centre (HWSF&AC) at Broadwater Lake was unanimously approved by the London Borough of Hillingdon (LBH) Planning Committee Meeting held on Tuesday 21 st April 2026.
The LBH Capital Programme Works Service are now progressing purchase of Broadwater Lake from the current owners Tarmac.
On completion of the lake purchase, LBH will provide Broadwater Sailing Club with a license agreement to continue to operate from its current location on the north shore of Broadwater Lake until the new HWSF&AC is completed. The construction of the new facility is expected to take 2 to 3 years depending on when work can start. LBH will then provide Broadwater Sailing Club with a long term lease agreement to operate from the new facility along with the Hillingdon Outdoor Activity Centre (HOAC) or another service provider. Broadwater Sailing Club will then vacate its current location and move to the new HWSF&AC.
The Broadwater Sailing Club Trustees and Main Committee will continue to work with the London Borough of Hillingdon Capital Programme Works Service Project Team and with HOAC on finalising the new facility design, fitout and Operational Management Plan.

Self-Launching Anchor Windlass
Committee Boat Update October 2025

The committee boat is now equipped with a self-launch and recovery anchor windlass. This improvement means there is no longer any need to deploy the anchor manually, nor access the foredeck to carry out anchoring operations.
For guidance on how to operate please see Windlass Operating Instructions
