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.
