SAILING CLUB
Welcome! We are an active and friendly club – whether you’ve never been on a boat before or you’re a world champion, there are endless opportunities to participate and compete through EUSC. We have a booming social scene with socials every Wednesday and sailing every weekend.
Stay up to date with our latest events! We post everything on our instagram and all our links are here, including yachting and club sailing whatsapp groups for the year. Find out more:
Beginner Sailing
We run weekly beginner and intermediate dinghy sessions. They are a good chance to learn to sail or sharpen your skills as well as spend a day on the water, away from the city and university in an inclusive, fun and safe environment. Sessions are run every Sunday at Port Edgar Yacht Club.
Team Racing
We have 4 active team racing teams, with training every Saturday, theory on Tuesdays and around 10 events every year! We are among the best in the UK and have topped the Scottish League for the last 2 years.
Yacht Racing
We have 2 yachting teams who train every Sunday at Port Edgar Yacht Club, where we can use the 707s. They also do the Wednesday night and Sunday racing there, and go to events across the country like BUCS Yachting and Ceilidh Cup.
Trips
We have 2 trips every year: one to the West Coast for a weekend in October and one to the Med for a week in June! You don’t need to have ever sailed before to come on these trips just bring good vibes.
Courses
If you’re looking to gain some qualifications that could get you chartering yachts in the Med before you graduate, we can organise that for you, and make it affordable! We run RYA Competent crew/ Day Skipper/ Coastal Skipper every February, as well as other courses like RYA First Aid, Sea Survival and Diesel Engine.
