About Aylesbury Sailing Club

The Aylesbury Sailing Club (ASC) was formed on the 16 acre water known as Weston Turville Reservoir which was built in 1797 and is now owned by the British Waterways Board.

All boats on the water and within the club premises must be covered by valid third party insurance. Boats may be kept on site subject to membership and a small annual dinghy park charge.

The Racing programme offers members the chance to race on Sundays from March to November. There are opportunities for Class racing as well as Fleet racing. The club provides motorised support boats on club and race days.
