Caterline Skiffies are training with their Skiff on Forfar loch this Sunday 12th June. They have offered to take a limited number for a trial row in the Skiff from 1 o’clock. If anyone would like to come down and see the Skiff. You may be lucky enough to have a trial row .

Caterline expect to be training on the loch all afternoon.

We expect to have two Skiffs on the loch one from Queensferry and one from St Andrews the following Sunday for wider public use.

On 16th April 2022, this uniquely Scottish District IOM event was hosted by Tayside Radio Sailing Club at their home venue of Forfar Loch. The twelve wooden hull IOM’s were built to a very high standard and looked beautiful in the sun.

The event was very challenging due to variable wind conditions (direction and strength) which tested everyone’s skills. At times, a little bit of luck also helped! Nevertheless, the event was sailed in very good spirits with all turns done on the water. Thanks are due to Tayside RSC for so efficiently running the event and to Forfar Sailing Club for the superb catering.

The club was busy this week-end with the radio sailors on Saturday and some lovely weather & sailing on Sunday.

Last Saturday was the radio sailors competition, where the club provides rolls, soup and cake for the competitors. The sailing started a bit later due to the lack of wind. As the wind didn’t really pick up, an early lunch was called. After some soup, a roll and a selection of cakes a new course was set and another start called. After several races there was another option to sample some cake with a cup of tea or coffee.

On Sunday, there where some new boats arriving and taken out on the water, We had Dave with his firefly, and Malcom with the laser. He decided on a radial, making it the same as Becci and later Helen. Furthermore we had Conor & Charlotte with his mirror on the water. Mark and Sebastian took the laser and managed to raise the spinnaker later in the afternoon.

To allow members to report on weather and to ask who is going to be at the club we introduce an email list where only the members that are interested get the mail. The list will be kept up to date by the club, so you can add yourself (or remove) at any time.
