Lake Baikal?

Indeed it is Lake Baikal.
Here are a few of the better images, but they were all searchable, so not good clues.
(Before this exercise, I hadn't thought about it, but there is a long history of sailing on Lake Baikal, including trade routes going back to the 1600's).

And @tillerman I am (again) stunned at the number of places you have been at the tiller!

I will but don't have a prepared one, have to think one up.
If someone is straining at the leash to set a puzzle, feel free.

p.s. Apple TV lists the Siberia episode as season 3, episode 14 (not 5)
The show was a quest for a drink that included Russia's national drink (before vodka), and sacred ice blessed by a holy man. They ended up with Polugar (a 100 proof spirit) on Olkhun Island with Lake Baikal ice and a shaman.

I am not really a sailor. I just play one on the Internet.

Bloody hell. I've just tried half a dozen images and every one is searchable.

Name of the place or sailing club.

Not Siberia
Seems to have been taken before color photography was commonly available.
On the other hand, the Toppers say it is post-1977 and somewhere in the British Isles.

Toppers say uk . Looks like a large estuary, so maybe Devon or Cornwall. So maybe Salcombe, Falmouth, Exmouth or Dartmouth or somewhere similar . But maybe even south west wales . Best chance of identifying the place is probably identifying the boat sailing with the toppers . 😀

You are on the right track. I think for fairness I need one suggestion, not a list. Btw, it is high tide.

I made the image grayscale because that befuddles image search.

Yes it is. So where is it? And for bonus points, what is the class of the wooden dinghy?
For a gold star, who are the two famous authors associated with which nearby building?

No idea. Ever since the classic Firefly was dropped from the Olympics to make room for all the fat boys in the Finn, I have lost interest in wooden boats. That one looks like a real clunker.
