Welcome to West Lancs!

Try sailing in the heart of Southport!


Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced sailor, we welcome all ages and abilities in a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment. Enjoy the shallow waters of the beautiful Marine Lake as you build confidence, develop skills, stay active and make new friends. Off the water, our members love social events and celebrating special moments in our stunning lakeside lounge. We encourage everyone to get involved in club life—whether its sailing, racing, learning, teaching, or joining our dedicated volunteers who help with maintenance and catering.


Come and give it a go—we’d love to have you on board!
