Thinking about learning to sail? Rudyard Lake Sailing Club is an RYA Recognised Training Centre, running both RYA approved courses and junior training sessions throughout the season for all ages and ability levels.

Jybaz offers young children the chance to gain confidence in the water and have fun at a new hobby whilst staying safe. Children of all skill levels are welcome. You don’t need to have your own boat to join in the fun as the Club has a range of boats that are used for training on the Jybaz days. We welcome all age ranges from 6 to 18 to join the team. You are never too young to start.

There is an active racing scene at the club, with a number of racing series throughout the year for all levels of experience.

These are informal sessions where members can sail, SUP or windsurf knowing that there is safety boat cover available. There is usually coaching and support available if you want or need it.

These sessions are an ideal opportunity to practice any of your skills and build your confidence, knowing there is support available of you want it. They also provide an opportunity to socially sail with family and friends.

Members can sail their own boats or hire a club boat (currently £5 per person). Help will be available if you require assistance with rigging or just want a last check over before you go on the water.

These sessions are usually run in the afternoons after Jybaz sessions, on Wednesday evenings from approx. 4pm and on alternative Sunday mornings in June and July. Please check the calendar for Social Sailing.

Rudyard Lake is a superb location for stand-up paddleboarding. At over 2.5 miles long, it has some of the most dramatic scenery in Staffordshire Moorlands and a hugely varied shore with open farmland at one end, inlets to explore, the railway down one side and the earth dam where the lake feeds the local canal system for which the lake was built.
