Sailing

The upper reaches of the Clyde, which are directly accessed from the Club, offer some of the best racing available anywhere in the country and provide a gateway to an extensive cruising area both in and beyond the Clyde.

With the key aim of promoting sailing the Club has an extensive range of facilities:

• The Club is an approved RYA training facility with courses available in dinghies, keel boats and powerboats.
• Individual and group coaching from our qualified RYA instructor.
• Club boats for use by members and anyone wishing to learn to sail, including Optimists, Fevas and Sonars.
• Racing for keelboats with regular round the buoys racing in the Gareloch and East Patch.
• Racing for National and International classes including National, European and World Championships.
• Team and Match racing at both National and International level, including overseas and invitation events.
• Cruising musters in and around the Clyde area.
• Moorings for all sizes of boats, with a launch service running seven days a week until dusk throughout the sailing season.
• Secure winter storage ashore for boats.
