Welcome to the Newburgh Sailing Club website
Newburgh Sailing Club is situated in northern Fife on the south shores of the river Tay, just off the A913 between Perth to the West and Newport-
Sailing in the brackish waters at Newburgh can prove to be both exhilarating and challenging, both from difficult wind sheer created by the trees and rolling hillsides behind the club, and wind blowing down the valley, not to mention a fairly misleading tidal current. All adding to the attraction of sailing in these beautiful surroundings.
We offer sailing opportunities for all ages and backgrounds. Within the website you will find information on our training courses, regular racing and other activities. If you want to get more information then look through our site or go to our contacts page for more information.
