Thornton Steward Sailing Club
Welcome
About Thornton Steward Sailing Club
The Family Club
TSSC…..
Is based at Thornton Steward Reservoir, 5 miles
west of Bedale, North Yorkshire, at the entrance
to Wensleydale.
At 35 acres, it is large enough to give good
tactical racing, yet small enough to feel safe for
the nervous or newcomer, as all areas of the
water are visible from the clubhouse.
TSSC is a small family club offering a wide range
of sailing activities supported by safety boat
services. We also offer SUP (Standup
Paddleboarding), Canoeing, Kayaking and
Windsurfing.
The main sailing season runs from April to
October, although members can sail and access
the water throughout year during daylight hours.

The Club
Our heated Clubhouse was built by members and
has changing rooms with showers and toilets, a
main lounge and kitchen area. Fully double
glazed, the cozy viewing area has a clear sight of
the entire reservoir for spectators to enjoy.
The patio area to the front of the clubhouse has
steps which double as seats leading to an
enclosed grass children’s play area…..
A distinctly pleasant place to watch the world go
by!
The attractive scenery, together with the footpath
network in the local area make it a good place for
those who do not wish to sail. Younger sailors are
particularly welcome with special junior training
courses available throughout the season.
The Club is fortunate in owning a number of
dinghies for members without boats to sail.
We currently own 2
WANDERERS, a fleet of
FUSIONS and a number of
TOPPERS and OPTIMISTS,
with access to various
other craft in which to
sail and to provide
training. 3 SUP’s are also
now available for
members to hire through our on-line booking
system.
Safety Boat
During the season a safety boat is scheduled for
Wednesday evenings, Sselected Saturdays during
May to September and Sundays between May and
October.
The safety Boat is manned by members through a
rosta system and all members are expected to
assist with safety boat duties as part of their
membership conditions,…following appropriate
training.
As a member of the club, there are selected dates
when members may camp on site.
