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
