CLUB INFORMATION We also sail on the Kingston Maurwood College lake, but this is not a club water and members wishing to sail there must buy a Season Ticket. However, special arrangements apply on College Open Days. Mangerton Mill, near Bridport is a pond we visit at the invitation of the owner, with visitors admitted by prior arrangement. Most boats can use the Mill pond, The Sealife pond takes scale power boats and small yachts, while yachts sail and race at Radipole and Kingston Maurwood. The Club formed in 1987, but no water was available until 1990.
