Welcome to
Derby Motor
Boat Club
Established in 1938.
Situated on the River Trent at sawley cut
Excellent access and facilities
Situated on the River Trent at Sawley Cut close to the junctions of the River Trent with the River Soar, the Erewash Canal and the Trent-&-Mersey Canal making it ideal for excursions in all directions.
Even though technically on the Trent we are actually on a small section of canal known as Sawley Cut, which bypasses the weir at Sawley. We have lock gates above and below our moorings and so the level of water is controlled to a considerable degree. There is still some rise and fall depending on the water levels but nowhere near the variation that would occur if we were on the river.
