We are a very friendly dinghy sailing club with one of the most beautiful settings in the whole of the UK, based on the large Pontsticill Reservoir in the Brecon Beacons National Park. With this location even non-sailing members of your family can enjoy a lovely day out, with a gentle stroll around the reservoir or up into the hills, simply enjoying the views.

We are a diverse club, sailing everything from boards to 20ft cats and have members of all ages and with a wide range of abilities. All are welcome. Come along and try it for free before you join.
The emphasis within this club is on fun. We do race but the atmosphere is always friendly and welcoming to newcomers. We will organise training days each year to assist improvers and beginners.
Series handicap racing is organised for the Sundays throughout the sailing season, running from mid-March to Boxing Day. There are spring, summer, autumn and winter series with a cup for each and many more cup races throughout the year, with several on bank-holidays. During most of the season there is also sailing on Saturdays, this is a more informal affair with people just cruising, teaching others or organising small races. During the summer months with lighter evenings some members who live close enough to get there in time, organise their own series for Wednesday evenings.
The younger members of the family in age or heart may also enjoy a trip on the steam train which now passes the club and has its terminus near the dam of the reservoir.
Being almost in the centre of South Wales and only a short distance from the "Heads of the Valleys" road we are very conveniently located for people to visit from the large population centres of Newport, Cardiff and Swansea. We have members who visit from as far away as Reading in the east and the upper Swansea valley in the west.
