    Our final Open Sailing event of the season took place last night in, for what has seemed to be the norm this season, "blustery" conditions.

    Open Sailing @ RFYC Tuesday 8th August 2023

    With Westerly winds ranging from 16 to 24 knots and slight to moderate sea state, our guests last night were treated to a little bit of excitement for our penultimate Open Sailing event. With most boats opting to reef, our fleet made their way across to the deep water channel before turning round and heading back to harbour. Some boats took a course further Westwards to take a look at Inchmickery before returning.

    Our most recent Open Sailing event took place on Tuesday (25 th July) resulting with 15 guests being taken out by our intrepid skippers for a short taster sail on the Forth.

    Open Sailing @ RFYC Tuesday 11 th July 2023 Again, we were blessed by the weather Gods! Last night's Open Sailing event turned out to be a most enjoyable couple of hours spent on the water for those taking part. The weather predictions in the lead up to the event were looking quite grim with Westerly gusts of up to 25knts and heavy rain forecast. However, the evening turned

    Open Sailing @ RFYC Tuesday 27th June 2023

    We were so lucky last night (Tuesday) to get a break in the poor weather conditions to allow us to take our guests out on the water. Throughout the day, heavy showers and lack of wind threatened this event to be cancelled. However, once again, these conditions did not deter our skippers from turning out to offer their services and take to the water for what turned out to be a most enjoyable sail.

    Open Sailing @ RFYC Tuesday 20th June 2023

    Tuesday saw the second of our Open Sailing evenings take place at RFYC. We had a very impressive representation of members turning out to take to the water with our guests. In a very unusual turn of events, we managed to have almost as many boats as we had guests on the evening. This may have been due to poor weather conditions that were experienced just a few hours prior to the event

    South Loch Gin VX One National Championships 2023 - a great success

    A great time was had by all this weekend at the VX One Nationals. It was great racing, and an excellent team effort on the water and behind the scenes. Thanks to everyone who volunteered and raced. Impressive work all round! For us at Royal Forth, we saw a very encouraging size of fleet on the water and another visiting yacht class having enjoyed a very worthwhile championship event at the Club. Thanks
