Sailing Questions and Answers

Please find below some answers to the most common sailing question. If you want to know about something that is not covered below please send an email to John at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it

Who can come sailing?
Sailing is open to anyone in the Discovery Scout Section and any Explorer Scouts.

Do I need to be able to sail?
No previous sailing experience is required. The only requirement is that participants must be able to swim 50m.

Where do we go sailing?
The majority of the 29th Glasgow's sailing is undertaken at Largs, where we are members of Largs Sailing Club. Other venues may be arranged.

How much does sailing cost?
The cost for sailing is £10 per day. This is a contribution towards the annual costs of providing transport, safety boat fuel, membership of Largs Sailing Club and the boats.

What days can I come sailing?
Please check the calendar above to see which dates are available for you to come along sailing. There are only a limited number of places each day, so please make sure you book a space.

What time is sailing from?
We meet at 10am at the Cameron Halls on the day of sailing returning at around 7.30pm. Arrival times back at the halls can vary so the normal practice is for the sailors to phone home once we have left Largs.

Who will be taking me sailing?
The Explorer Sea Scouts will be helping run the sailing sessions, but all sessions are run under the supervision of fully qualified RYA Instructors.

What kit do I need to bring with me?
The following kit should be brought along when coming sailing. You do not need to wear Scout uniform on sailing days.

• Packed lunch
• A full change of clothes
• A towel
• A pair of shoes that can get wet or wellies
• Waterproofs
• Warm clothes
• Swimming costume
• A pair of shorts
• Towel
• Suncream, yes it is sometimes sunny and when it is you can burn very quickly on the water.
• A little spending money if you want to get chips on the way home!

How do we get to Largs?
The majority of the time we will be using the Scout minibus to travel to and from Largs. On the few occassions the bus is in use by other sections, parents will be asked to assist with transport.
