Cove Sailing Club
is the home of the Loch Long One Design, a wooden keel boat built for racing along the shores of the Loch. The club extends a warm welcome to all, sailors and non sailors alike and is always looking to accept new members.
The club hosts at least twice weekly race meetings during the summer season and a wide range of social activities throughout the year such as our annual Burns' supper, games nights, Sunday Scran project, themed food nights and much more.
There is also a vibrant cadet section where children can enjoy dinghy and Loch Long sailing with their own annual regatta.
What We Do
Socials
Cove Sailing Club hosts social events such as barbecues, dinners, and quiz nights for members and their families. Other events might include regatta dinners, awards ceremonies, and fundraising events.
We also frequently host educational events such as guest speakers and workshops on topics related to sailing and boating.
Social events at Cove Sailing Club are a great way for members and the community to connect with one another, share their passion for sailing, and build a sense of community around the club.
Racing & Training
Cove Sailing Club offers regular racing events - biweekly race nights, alongside an annual race calendar. Cove Sailing Club also offers free cadet training throughout the season for club members aged 8 years old and above. There are regular training opportunities provided for members to learn skills such as power boating, race officer and food hygiene certificates.
As well as a full season of cadet sailing training, the cadets are also offered life skills and experiences such as waitering, events support and event planning.
Community Space
Cove Sailing Club acts as a community hub for sailing and non-sailing activities.
We are currently running our Sunday Scran programme, which has been funded by The National Lottery Community Fund, to provide free food and activities throughout the year once a month. More details of this can be found on our social media. Please get in touch if you would like to use the clubhouse for your event.
