Second joint event in Scotland with the Hansa Class.
Not too late to join us in all the fun, the next event in Scotland is at Loch Venachar then Loch Earn.
Get in touch for details and how we can help you get started.

Duncan's Regatta took place at Bardowie Loch during the weekend 27--28 June. Duncan's Regatta is so called because this Challenger event has been generously sponsored by Duncan Yacht Chandlers in Glasgow for many years.

Eleven Challengers with eager, but slightly apprehensive, sailors and helpers arrived at Prestwick SC to prepare for the Scottish Open Challenger Championship. The apprehension was because this was a new venue for Challengers and on the sea to boot!

So True!!!
Thank you to our volunteers who turn up at every event. Including venue members, our members, friends, relatives and others all make our events possible.

You will often hear us say volunteers are the heartbeat of Sailability... and that's because it's true!💙

So many different types of people give up their precious time to ensure their local Sailability club can continue to provide life-changing opportunities for anyone wanting to get on the water⛵

Volunteers come in all shapes and sizes too - whether it's instructing and coaching, preparing the boats, helping with memberships, providing a warm welcome, spreading the word of your club, or even providing those vital hot drinks and homemade bakes, you are all making a difference!☕🍰

No matter the role, each is vital and we here at RYA Sailability want to say a huge THANK YOU!!!⭐

What can be better than sailing with a great group of people in sunshine with a friendly breeze on Loch Linnie between the Great Glen , Ben Nevis and Glencoe in the Scottish Highlands?

Seven boats arrived on Friday afternoon to a great welcome from members of Lochaber Yacht Club who helped prepare the boats for the second event in the Scottish Challenger Traveller Series.

Successful first event at Castle Semple SC. Next event at Lochaber SC Fort William next weekend 9/10 May, time to get your entries. Some of the best reaches to be had across Loch Linnie see you there.

Four visitors arrived at Castle Semple SC near Lochwinnoch on Friday afternoon to prepare their boats for the first event of the 2026 Scottish Challenger Travellers Series. The bright sunshine and mirror flat water suited the wild swimmers better.
