Yorkshire Dales Sailing Club

Yorkshire Dales Sailing Club is based at Grimwith Reservoir, a Yorkshire Water reservoir on the north side of the B6265, roughly 8 miles west of Pateley Bridge and 4 miles east of Grassington, within the eastern Yorkshire Dales National Park.

The club offers sailing, windsurfing, SUP, and canoeing on the reservoir, with dinghy racing a regular fixture.

Access is via a signed tarmac road heading north from the B6265, approximately 200 yards uphill from Dibbles Bridge; blue Yorkshire Water signs mark the turn. A free car park sits adjacent to the club off the same road.

Note that a rough gated track labelled "Grimwith Road" on some maps lies further east and does not lead to the club. Membership is required for regular use, though non-members may sail during normal opening hours on a day-sail basis using their own equipment.

A 4. 5-mile footpath circumnavigates the reservoir for those visiting on foot.
