Windermere Motor Boat Racing Club

Broad Leys house, today headquarters of the WMBRC

The Windermere Motor Boat Racing Club is a British boating club based at Bowness-on-Windermere, Cumbria. The Club was founded in the 1920s. Its present headquarters, Broad Leys, was acquired in the 1950s. It is an architecturally significant building.[1]

For many years, power-boating and water-skiing were popular activities on the lake. With the introduction of a 10 miles per hour (16 km/h) speed limit on Windermere in 2005, the motorboat racing programme has moved to Barrow Docks. Broad Leys is now a base for sailing on Windermere.
