Sailing For Everybody...   

 In the heart of the Peak District

Torside Lake, Derbyshire ... home of GDSC

Glossop and District Sailing Club welcomes visitors and new members.   You will find that the Club offers a friendly and helpful atmosphere in which you can enjoy the excellent sailing at Torside Reservoir. Benefiting from prevailing South Westerly winds blowing up the open valley, the large water offers an exciting sailing environment for all craft.

The Club offers a full and varied sailing programme for all levels of experience and expertise. Most Saturdays are available for "free sailing" (no racing) whilst Sundays are used for club racing and class competitions and there is a Wednesday evening race series during the Summer months. The Club has a strong junior section who learn to enjoy sailing under supervision on Friday evenings.

Optimist dinghies are available to junior members or the children of family members (and any friends).

The clubhouse provides good changing and catering facilities and a licensed bar.
It occupies a fine location for relaxing and socialising after sailing.

Membership at the club includes a berth for your boat and use of the club facilities.  However we also offer a 'pay per visit' scheme where sailors can pay a daily charge for the use of our facilities with their own boat or windsurfer.

We believe that we have the best reservoir and the friendliest club in the region for sailing and windsurfing.
