Dream on - this is easily the biggest and busiest club on the Forth.

Oh, just the same as it does the other 8 months a year of the sailing season
in this jolly little 56N estuary with ships, islands and bridges to dodge in
ever-changing conditions...

Three days of multiple-class series dinghy racing a week (up to four
classes), two days of multiple-class series yacht racing a week (up to three
classes), plus trophy races, regattas and fun events on other days. There's
a cruising section involving both yachts and dinghies - organised monthly
cruises and casual Thursday evening cruises, Saturday is practice day for
newbie dinghy sailors, kids' sailing on Sunday mornings, etc. Runs from late
March to late December.

Why do you ask? Doesn't your club do this sort of thing?

No, my club rides motorcycles.

I don't race, I criuse. I have crewed in races a few times though. I live 2
hours from the water, which is too much for a 2 hour race on Wed. night.

I was wondering what a 'Firth Of Forth' is.

'Firth' is Scottish for 'estuary', 'Forth' is the name of the river that
feeds it.

It quite possibly is (haven't studied the etymology) - there are several
firths in Scotland... Firth Of Clyde, Firth Of Tay, Moray Firth, Solway
Firth, etc. An exception to the estuary idea is the Pentland Firth, which is
actually the seaway between the mainland and Orkney.

It was gorgeous, right? :-)

Nobody with a name like "Wally" would be able to understand Gaelic.


I'd guess that he is from Lancashire ... or maybe Yorkshire!!!
