About Us

Stirling University Sailing Club, we are a Club that mainly supports Dinghy Sailing, with RYA Instructors and a partner RYA affiliated club. We also will be offering Windsurfing in the second semester, and supporting stand up Paddle boarding.

Sessions

We plan to run a training session and free sailing session at Venachar on Wednesday (12-4) and potentially Tuesday afternoons with an opportunity to take part in weekly regattas on Sunday afternoon (12-4). 

Our Fleet

As a club we have 6 Firefly Sailing Dinghies, and Access to several training boats at Venachar. Including Wayfarers, Lasers and RS boats.

Socials

We run weekly socials every Wednesday evening with a themed Social on the last Wednesday of each month. And every fortnight on a Saturday we have a hike, trip or activity. Also after sailing sessions on Wednesday afternoon we stop off in Callander for something to eat or a BBQ at Venachar.

Armada Week

A week long holiday at the end of Spring Semester aboard one of a fleet of 50ft Yachts with no sailing experience required, a lot of sun, partying and various activities. Total cost for the entire trip is around £500 TBC + £90 damage deposit, payable over the entire two semesters. In Croatia or Greece.
