A busy and fun weekend at the club, with Friday evening racing, the return of our Fun Friday Junior sessions, and an Introduction to Racing Day helping sailors build confidence and get involved with club racing.

Our Avon Searider RIB, now officially named Phoenix, has returned following a major refurbishment supported through grant funding and volunteer effort.

A successful open day at Peterhead Sailing Club brought together local watersports groups including Aberdeenshire Sailing Trust and the Windsurf SUP Club, giving visitors the chance to try sailing, windsurfing, wingfoiling and paddleboarding while finding out more about getting involved on the water locally.

Our first Friday Night Sailing of the season brought a great mix of boats and members afloat, with plenty more evenings like this planned over the summer. Whether you’re an experienced sailor or looking to get involved for the first time, there’s something for everyone at the club.

An old unused Laser has been brought back to life after nearly a year of work stripping, repairing and rebuilding the boat. With support from members and funding from Buchan Youth Panel, it’s now back on the water with a fresh look, upgraded kit and even its original stickers recreated to preserve the boat’s history.

Pre-season maintenance underway, from refreshed changing rooms to serviced boats, getting the club ready for a busy year ahead.

A practical step towards improving energy efficiency at the clubhouse, using excess solar energy to heat water, reduce costs, and support year-round activity.

A look back at the 2025 season through our AGM and Prizegiving, recognising achievements on the water and contributions across the club.

We had local Councillors join us on Monday night to present 2 Pride of Buchan awards, one for the club and one for Martin. It’s really great to see our club and Martin being recognised for their hard work.

At the start off the month we got a first coat of paint on the front of the clubhouse. This had been a job we had been planning for a while but the logistics of working at height proved challenging.

Thanks to two of our committee and a day of hard labour we are lucky to have the front complete in time for winter!

We had a great weekend supporting the Windsurf SUP Club at their annual Big Weekend on the 13th and 14th of September. It was fantastic to see so many people out enjoying windsurfing, winging and foiling in Peterhead!

Our Final Friday Night at the marina was a success with a ‘Pursuit Race’ where everyone could get involved followed by a Bbq at the clubhouse.

Our Big Weekend was packed with action on and off the water — plenty of sailing, racing, and a great BBQ topped off with a debut band performance from one of our junior members. Sunday’s cup race wrapped things up perfectly.

Monday sailing began at Easter with relaxed afternoon and lively after-school sessions, offering something for everyone. Over summer, open afternoon sessions brought all ages together on the water, creating busy, fun-filled days for all.

Congratulations to Martin on his Impact Award from Rya Scotland!

We would like to say a MASSIVE well done to the 40 sailors who took part in our Bluetoon Schools Regatta this year, it was great to see so many North East sailors taking to the waters of Peterhead to enjoy some great sailing and compete for their schools.

Aberdeenshire Sailing Trust were delighted to welcome Norman Fiddes from Wooden Spoon Charity and World Champion in the Hansa class Rory McKinna to launch our brand new Wooden Spoon Hansa 303.

A big thank you to everyone who came along to the club for our open day. It was great to meet you all and we hope that you were able to learn more about what’s on offer at Peterhead Sailing Club and how you can get involved.

It was great to get back on the water for the start of season after winter. This meant we were dusting off covers and checking boots followed by a rather breezy sail in the afternoon. It takes more than you think to get back afloat, our volunteers are busy weeks in advance preparing powerboats engines and hulls to make sure they are ready for a busy season, they are preparing racing marks and the building gets it tlc whilst its quiet.

Spring is here and that means our second winter with Monday Youth Group is over. All our group members from 2023/24 have stayed with us and it's been good to welcome some new young people joining us.
