Hear what our members have to say about their experiences
Joining Lake Malawi Sailing Club was one of the best decisions I've made. The facilities are excellent, the instructors are knowledgeable, and I've made lifelong friends here. The sailing conditions are perfect year-round, and the community is incredibly welcoming.
As a complete beginner, I was nervous about learning to sail, but the club's training program made it so easy. Within just a few lessons, I was out on the water confidently. Now I sail every weekend - it's become my favorite way to relax and enjoy the beautiful lake.
The racing events at the club are professionally organized and so much fun. I've competed in several regattas and each one has been a fantastic experience. The camaraderie among sailors is amazing, and the post-race socials are always a highlight!
