Dinghy Sailing

Welcome to Bardowie Loch, home to the Clyde Cruising Club Dinghy Section.

The CCC Dinghy Section has an active race programme with members of all ages competing every Thursday evening throughout the season. Across the year there are other activities including Club regatta and national class regattas. We have around 70 dinghies that are available for qualified members to use, making us an way to get into the sport of sailing.

Bardowie has a well-deserved reputation as a family friendly club, with training approved by the Royal Yachting Association. If you would like to learn to sail, we have evening classes available to children and adults during the weekday evenings covering beginners through to budding racers. In the summer holidays why not sign up for sailing lessons and fun at summer school.

There is free sailing for all Dinghy members who capable of sailing independently (RYA NSS2 / YSS3) on week nights and weekend afternoons. You can use your own or a Club boat at these sessions where one of our stewards is onsite to help. We have a boat park that members can apply to use.

The club is run on a volunteer basis rather than as a commercial centre so the cost of courses are very competitive. We expect members to help where they can so sailing can be enjoyed by everyone.
