Keel Boat Racing on the East Patch

Keelboat racing takes place just off Helensburgh on the East of the Clyde Estuary. A fantastic area that provides a variety of courses for all conditions, wind strengths and directions. There are several permanent marks including two large navigation towers and the famous 'Sugar Ship' wreck, the Captayannis which ran aground  27 January 1974, plus several large orange seasonally laid marks which the club maintain.

 

Through the season from April to October there are 4 series, initially on Sunday afternoons then as the evenings grow longer into Wednesdays evenings and then back to the Sundays. These are suited to serious racing fanatics and competent amateurs and anyone wanting to join the crew of a Keelboat will almost always find a helmsman looking for some added ballast.
