Self-launch

Already have your own kit? You can launch your own equipment at all five of our lakes!

1 x self-launch permit is £16. 2 x self-launch permits are £29 for both. Includes parking. 

Please note:

• Third party insurance is required when launching your own equipment 
• For all self-launch a disclaimer must be completed online prior to arrival
• Any inflatable crafts must be checked by a member of staff before being launched on the water
• The launch fee also includes use of the toilet facilities, changing rooms and provision of rescue cover (in designated areas and advertised times). If you want to go outside of rescue cover / areas then this is strictly under the buddy system and must be discussed with staff before doing so.
• Buoyancy aids must be worn on the water at all times. If you don't own one, then you can rent ours for £7.50. The only exceptions to this rule are competent adult windsurfers wearing a harness or competent adult wing foilers – leash to board and wing must be worn (impact vest and helmet recommended).
• SUP users must wear a personal floatation device such as a buoyancy aid and use a board leash at all times. SUP PFD belts are allowed. Find out more.
• South West Lakes Trust staff hold the right to ask anyone at anytime to wear a buoyancy aid.

Roadford Lake Sailing Club

Roadford Lake Sailing Club is a small but very friendly club which has a somewhat unusual, if not unique, operating model. South West Lakes Trust works in partnership with RLSC to provide dinghy racing at Roadford to its members. Further details of club contacts, activities and costs can be found here.
