Alan, the organiser, welcomes everyone to Prestwick Sailing Club, a top spot for sailing in Scotland. Tucked away in Prestwick, the club offers safe and sheltered sailing waters just off the promenade, making it a breeze to get started from the sandy beach.
At Prestwick Sailing Club, there’s a host of water sports and activities waiting for everyone, from beginners to seasoned sailors. Whether you’re just getting your feet wet or you’re up for some dinghy racing, there's something for you. Alan and the team of passionate trainers are on hand to ensure everyone has a safe and fun time on the water.
Club membership comes with access to a fleet of club boats and full clubhouse facilities – perfect for relaxing and mingling with fellow sailing enthusiasts. Beyond sailing, the club also offers kayaking, paddleboarding, and windsurfing. Additionally, the Prestwick Coastal Rowing Club is a great place to pick up some rowing skills and join in on rowing events.
Events are a big part of what makes Prestwick Sailing Club special. There's the annual prize giving, the AGM, and other gatherings where members celebrate and plan for the future. A standout tale from the club is about “Shrink in the Drink,” where Andrew Hill-Smith had to store his boat here during a storm while sailing around the UK. Alan also highlights the summer training programme for young sailors – a week-long course to get kids sailing – and the Youth Classes Regatta for Topper, Oppie, and Feva's.
Alan encourages anyone interested in joining to sign up for a training course. The fees cover training and all necessary equipment, ensuring everyone gets a top-notch sailing education. The club is all about making sure members have the skills and confidence to enjoy their time on the water.
