A CLUB FOR EVERYONE

Welcome to Newburgh Sailing Club

Newburgh Sailing Club is a friendly, volunteer-run dinghy sailing club on the south bank of the River Tay in Newburgh, Fife.

We are an RYA Recognised Training Centre, offering structured sailing and powerboat training alongside relaxed club sailing and racing.

Whether you’re a complete beginner, returning to sailing after a break, or an experienced racer, you’ll find a supportive community here.

You don’t need your own boat or equipment to get started, and visitors are always welcome.

OUR SAILING LOCATION

Sailing on the River Tay

Sailing at Newburgh is both beautiful and rewarding. Our club overlooks the tidal waters of the River Tay, with views towards Mugdrum Island and the surrounding hills.

The brackish water, shifting winds and strong, ever-changing tidal stream mean no two sailing days are quite the same.

These conditions make the Tay an interesting place to develop sailing skills, while enjoying some of the finest riverside scenery in Fife.
