Team racing is a fun, fast-paced and exciting type of sailing! Unlike fleet racing, it’s done in teams of 3 boats in intense, short and exciting races. It involves use of the rules to get your team into a winning combination.

Our team racing is one of the most active areas of the club – with weekly training, fitness and theory and the opportunity to go to around 10 events a year. Events are always tons of fun involving a night out on Friday, sailing all of Saturday, a fancy dress night out on Saturday and sailing for most of Sunday. To some of you this may sound like a lot of time to commit but you won’t be able to find anything else nearly as fun or crazy to do with your weekends!

We have a fleet of six firefly dinghies we sail out of Loch Ore on Saturdays (plus some informal training on Wednesdays). For the 25/26 season we aim to have four teams plus reserves, competing in the Scottish and National university leagues.

Dinghy teams are one of the biggest parts of EUSC, it’s like a family and we love to have as many people part of it as possible.

Trials

We invite all new sailors with any form of racing experience as well as previous team members to try out for teams in September each year. No team racing experience required! We have a diversity in sailing backgrounds, with most people only doing fleet racing before university. This year trials will be ran over the first 3 weekends of term.
