Thunderbird Sailing Club

We have been promoting safe boating and creating sailing opportunities for people of all ages and skill levels since 1969.

Lake Thunderbird offers over 6,000 acres of open water surface area with 86 miles of shoreline. With Oklahoma winds, this makes for a fantastic setting for sailing most of the year.
