The RYA Scotland August News is Out!

“It’s been a packed past month, between the big boat action of the Clipper Round the World Yacht Race in Oban, and the Olympic sailing which has just wrapped up – not to mention the wealth of club and centre activity that’s on the go, regardless of what weather our Scottish summer throws at us.

Everyone surely enjoyed all the excitement and drama of the Paris 2024 Olympics, especially the sailing events in Marseille. While Team GB may not be bringing home as many medals as we would like, there have certainly been some impressive and memorable performances. All our Olympians should be proud of their accomplishments, as we are.
