Dinghy sailing in the northeast of Scotland

The ASYC Junior Regatta is on the 27th May at Loch of Skene. It is open to all junior sailors regardless of whether they have taken part in lessons or not and we are as keen as possible for lots of sailors to take part!

Registration from 10:00am.

All who can get around a course welcome.  Those not taking part in ASYC lessons will have to provide their own boat.

Anyone with easy to sail double handers who would like to take our younger sailors out around the course also more than welcome (please get in touch!!)  Any helpers willing to provide rescue cover / committee boat duties / bbq duties also gratefully received!

The Junior Boats will also move to Stonehaven that day so people on hand at the end of the day to load the boats onto trailers will be essential.

Please email Robyn Phillips ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) if you are planning to attend.

The 2012 Stonehaven Regatta will be held during the weekend 11-12 August and will be offering class starts for RS200, RS400,  Blaze and Skiffs, in addition to the usual Laser and Handicap events.

Notice of Race, Sailing Instructions, and further details will be posted in due course.

ASYC are looking to put together a team again to compete in the Match Racing Series being held at Banff. Last year ASYC took part and won, so we are looking to defend out title! (see News/Club News/article on 28 July 2011)

There are currently 6 teams competing with the hope of this number increasing to 9, so it will be a competitive series. Proposed dates are: 19th May,  2nd June, 1st July  and 7th October.

This will consist of 3 heats and a final. Racing takes place in Hunter 707’s and they have new sails and should be perfectly matched. Banff are also happy for the boats to be used out with the competition for practice.

If you are interested to be in the team or would like to find out further information, please contact Alex Taylor on: This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
