Welcome to the Pentland Firth Yacht Club
The Club was founded on the 9th October 1953, and
is now located in the south east corner of Scrabster Harbour. The
aim of the Club is to encourage sailing and seamanship, to foster
racing and the social sides of sailing. This is achieved by an active
racing program, a well attended sail training program and excellent
socials. Facilities include dinghy storage compound and access to
two slipways adjacent to the club. There is a workshop area for
boat repairs, well equipped kitchen area for that lunch time stop
over, change rooms and function hall.
The club sails in Thurso Bay located between two headlands,
Holburn Head and Dunnet Head. This gives a large deep water sheltered
sailing area with few restrictions. Thursday evenings sail training/development
aimed at the novices. Sunday afternoons feature club racing with
Handicap fleets, with the Slow handicap being dominated by a large
Topper Fleets. Fast handicap fleet has a large number of Lasers
and Fireballs.
See our new 'Training Events' page.
The Club website has been on the go since its epoch on 16 November 1995. It has had several major overhaul's in its 13 years, hope you all like the new look and the easier to use javascript navigation. The new Adobe Flash CS3 banner gives you a feel of the great sailing you can expect up here.
