Are you the owner of Loch Morlich Sailing Club?
Wetsuits and suitable gear are a must for water activities. Jane, at the helm of Loch Morlich Sailing Club, brings together a community of passionate water-sports enthusiasts eager to experience all the Loch has to offer.
Nestled in Aviemore, Scotland, within the beautiful Cairngorms National Park, Loch Morlich Sailing Club is a welcoming RYA-affiliated spot. Established over 50 years ago by local outdoor lovers, it’s a place for sharing a love of sailing and water sports.
The club is members-only, but canoeists, windsurfers, paddleboarders, and open water swimmers are always welcome. Everyone, regardless of age or skill, deserves a chance to enjoy the water.
Loch Morlich, with its breathtaking setting amidst the Cairngorm mountains, is perfect for beginners. Members can use a variety of boats, including an Enterprise, a Wayfarer, Lasers, and more. Although the club doesn’t offer lessons or boat rentals, a nearby water-sports centre at the loch’s beach end does.
Inclusivity is key at Loch Morlich Sailing Club. Jane emphasises creating a supportive environment for families, young people, seniors, and groups to enjoy positive experiences on the water through peer-centred learning.
Jane also organises diverse events like the Frozen North challenge, an annual Regatta, family days, social sailing, and national open water swimming events. While some members have reached Olympic standards, most simply savour the relaxed sailing and loch vibes.
Run entirely by volunteers, Jane encourages all members to contribute, fostering camaraderie and fulfilment. The clubhouse, on the loch’s north shore, offers stunning mountain views, changing rooms, and a cosy social space. Note, there’s no mains electricity or water, but facilities include a dinghy park and limited private parking.
Safety is paramount, with three safety boats ready whenever watercraft are on the loch. If you're in Aviemore and looking for a friendly sailing club, look to Jane and Loch Morlich Sailing Club. Seasoned sailor or novice, water-sport enthusiast or curious beginner, Jane invites you to join this vibrant community and embrace all that Loch Morlich has to offer.
