Windermere was one of the earliest powerboat racing venues and WMBRC is the oldest powerboat racing club in the world, with Sir Henry Segrave and Donald Campbell CBE among famous past members.  Visitors are welcome at our race days on Windermere.

WMBRC has a fleet of Beneteau and holds ten club race days each year.

Members and non-members are welcome to join in and we can normally find you a crew place.  No previous experience is required and a basic sailing kit is available.

"Step back in time" and discover the lakes "best kept secret" - our six bedrooms combine modern conveniences with Arts & Craft style, in an elegant country house setting.

Discover an amazing setting for weddings, celebrations, team-building, and more - Broad Leys has pedigree: Recapture the romance of a Hollywood movie or the elegance of Hercule Poirot, our  team can help you tailor your own showstopper.

WMBRC encompasses much more than the name suggests!

Owned and run by members, it welcomes prospective members not only to boat racing, but also the wide range of associated social activities at Broad Leys.
