Whether you're a newcomer looking to try watersports or a seasoned pro looking for a new club, you'll hopefully find all the information you need here. For club members, there are pages dedicated to racing, events, duties and the clubhouse. For beginners, there is detailed info on how to get into watersports, what training courses are on offer, and how to progress. Click here to find where we are located.
We hope you enjoy looking through our new site and look forward to seeing you on the water this year!
We are hosting one of our biggest events ever, on 12 and 13 July. The Nationwide series is the premier Topper event and up to 200 boats are expected. This does mean all other windsurfing and sailing activities that weekend will be on Farmoor 1 (the smaller lake) including club racing on the Sunday, which will be part of the Open Series. Sorry about that, but come along and watch anyway. The galley will be open both days.
All OSC Topper sailors can enter to race in the two-day event. You need to be a member of the class association, so visit www.gbrtopper.co.uk to enter online! Many thanks.
