HLSC has great pleasure, pride and excitement to be able to announce that one of our members, Stuart Bithell has been selected to represent Great Britain in the 470 class at this summer's Olympic Games.
Stu has been a fantastic ambassador for Hollingworth Lake Sailing Club, always entering events under the HLSC burgee and making reference to the club in interviews.
We all send him our best wishes and hope he brings a gold medal back to show off!

Hollingworth Lake Sailing Club (HLSC) near Rochdale offers competitive class racing for sailors of all levels coupled with an active training programme.
HLSC is situated on the 117 acre reservoir within the Hollingworth Lake Country Park, just north of Rochdale. The lake is 18 miles from Manchester and 31 miles from Leeds...the club is easily accessible — just 10 minutes from the M62, junction 21.
The club is just on the edge of Littleborough, yet the sailing is carried out against the beautiful rural backdrop of the Pennines. Whilst no inland lake can claim perfect winds, Hollingworth Lake gives some of the best open-water sailing in the area. “The Hollingworth Hoolie” (when the wind blows from the east off the Pennines in winter) has to be seen to be believed!
