Sailing and Racing at Burghfield Sailing Club

When the Government waved the green flag, sailing recommenced at Burghfield and the lake was immediately busy with members taking advantage of the opportunity to go sailing. When the restrictions were lifted enough to start racing, members started turning out in increasing numbers to get back in that competitive environment.
