Welcome To Aberdeen University Sailing Club

About Us

AUSC is an active club that caters for all abilities, from complete beginners to experienced racers. We have a range of sessions, including Open Sailing sessions for those wishing to learn and improve, and team training sessions to prepare for competitions throughout the year. As well as dinghy sailing and racing, we also delve into yachting, competing in various competitions and even holding yachting cruises! See our Events schedule below for more information.

Most of our sessions are run at Forfar Loch and transport is available from ASV, Hillhead and RGU leaving at 9am. Our Team Racing Training Sessions run most Sundays from 10:00 - 15:30. These sessions focus on introducing you to the world of University Team Racing, and creating a versatile, well-rounded team to send off to various competitions to race for the University of Aberdeen. If you are interested in teams, we are holding Team Trials on the 27th September. Depending on interest, we can have more than one team! 

Open Sailing sessions run from 10:00 - 15:00 every other Sunday. In these sessions, you have the opportunity to learn to sail, improve your existing skills, or just free sail - whatever floats your boat! We have a range of dinghies available, including Fireflies and a Bahia.

Every Wednesday, we hold a social. These include Pub Crawls, themed social nights on the town and team bonding socials, such as a Casual lunch! Check out our Facebook events section for more information on upcoming events!
