Clubs.

   ... and a mention here for Middle Nene Sailing Club in Thrapston, Northamptonshire.   Lovely friendly club with a huge grass rigging and launching area and on site camping.  The water area isn't huge, but it's big enough for 6 Javelins to have a lot of fun and has local fleets of Flying Fifteens and RS200s (at least).
What's more, entry fees were £20 a boat and the evening curry a fiver!!!!  Compare that to Rutland.

	Do you still have to rig up on the 'wrong' side of the water if you're visiting Middle Nene? I seem to recall doing this and sailing across to the boat park / clubhouse area about a zillion years ago...

	I remember sailing on Middle Nene when they still had the gravel bar at the top end of the lake.....

	There are indeed some shallow spots, but that adds to the fun. .. and you can now drive to the boat park and launch area.
