Bala Sailing Club is a seasonal club, with facilities available between 1st March & 31st October. Solely run by volunteers, the club has a close community of members overseen by a executive committee. We run Club Racing for Sailing, but also welcome different types of water sports like Windsurfing, Kayaking, PaddleBoarding, Swimming and Social Members. We have a number of social events throughout the year for members to enjoy. Members renew their subscription in January each year, for the season ahead. If you are interested in joining us at Bala SC, please take a look at the membership page.
The club lake and surroundings offer a wonderful environment for you to enjoy your sailing experience and more. The mainly South-westerly winds provide excellent sailing conditions and the well equipped clubhouse, rescue and bespoke training facilities make Bala one of the most popular sailing venues in the UK.
