Annual Regatta:
- RS200 Open Meeting (Stewart Brewing Travellers Trophy event)
- Enterprise Open Meeting (Scottish Nationals, UK Masters, and Bluebell event)
- Mirror Open Meeting
Saturday 29th and Sunday 30th August 2026
St Mary’s Loch SC welcomed a total of 28 boats from the RS200, Enterprise, and Mirror fleets for our annual regatta weekend.
Five races were held over the weekend, with light and shifty winds challenging the sailors, especially on Saturday, with a 180 degree change in wind direction giving an interesting twist to the third race.
Congratulations are due to to the event winners: Tim Sadler and Chris Parker from Yorkshire Dales SC, who made off with a substantial quantity of Enterprise silverware; local sailor Ailsa Goodfellow, who won 4 of the 5 races to dominate the Mirror class; and Fiona Rigg and Helen Wightman from East Lothian YC who took overall honours in the RS200 event.
Competitors enjoyed bacon rolls for breakfast and a Hog Roast (with vegetarian alternative) on Saturday evening. Entertainment took the form of a ceilidh on Saturday night, with a licensed bar on both Friday and Saturday nights.
Only an hour’s drive from Edinburgh, the club offers members a safe sailing experience in one of Scotland’s most stunning locations, described by a visiting regatta competitor as “a truly glorious setting, perhaps the most beautiful club on the circuit“. The large expanse of water is used for racing, cruising, pottering, or simply ‘messing about in boats’.
The club is an RYA Training Centre, and runs regular training events for club members.
