We had a brilliant time learning to sail. Very good staff and I highly recommend the place.

As a visitor, we were made to feel very welcome, very active with young sailors getting enthusiastically involved.

Not a client of this club so my review should be treated as such.
However, we were training (RYA sailing Level 1) with a nearby club and a lot of other people were using our course. All of them knew what they were doing as opposed to us, who had very little control of our boats. The area was clearly marked as a training zone and still people sailed right through our training buoyes, at times even using them to have some fun. To add to this a lot of windsurfers were also training in the same spot. Our instructor had to tell people many times to clear the area as we were beginners and we also had to do the same a couple of times. One of the gentleman who seemed to be an instructor at Welsh Harp was quite rude to us.

I really don't care whether there is some rivalry between clubs but this kind of behaviour is both unsafe and rude. What would have happened if one of our boats hit one of the windsurfers?

Please try to do better. We're all trying to enjoy this beautiful sport and newbies should be helped not impeded or sabotaged in their learning no matter which club they are training with.

Some great sailing clubs (try Welsh Harp Sailing Club - excellent training) and access to a physical sport that gets you fit & enjoying outdoor pursuits - that are good for your health - all year round.

The one star goes to the windsurf club. The windsurfers are restricted to a very small area at the beginning of the Brent reservoir and in absence of wind (which happens very often in this area), it’s very easy to get stuck on the water. The kits offered are quite old and the new ones are locked and not available to freely use. The staff is not very welcoming. I also experienced myself unjustified shouting from one of the instructors which made me completely uncomfortable. I was changing in the in the women room when this female instructor violently opened the doors and started to loudly shout at me asking in a very rude manner if I paid my membership (paid months before the episode). Surely, I will never come back again.
The atmosphere is not proper for a windsurf club.
However, the sailing club seems more organised and it welcomes more members.

Toilets, showers and changing room available. It is recommended to bring your own wet suit and the shoes are compulsory.

This is an amazing sailing club where I learned to sail at and am now in the Tera Squad! Probably the best sailing club near central london with a wide variety of boats from GP14s to oppies! Great events regularly so check the club out!

Really lovely welcoming club offering lots of support to new sailors... I only went to drop my daughter off at a kids session, now I'm there sailing twice a week!
