Anstruther Muster 2025
Ahoy Corinthians, this year’s Anstruther Harbour Festival & Muster is on 30th May – 1st June.
Steve Blaney has asked that we post the attached information and circulate it to yacht owners in the club. For more details, berthing, etc, contact Steve at steveblaney@hotmail.co.uk or mobile: 07885 661101.
I believe there is no clash with any cruises in company though obviously the 2025 sailing programme is not yet finalised.

First Cruise in Company – 18th May
Our first Cruise in Company is scheduled to take place on the 18th May. Our destination is the Dalgety Bay S.C. Our hosts have been very generous and are offering us the use of the facilities in their club house including the bar and wonderful terrace. We will require to anchor in the bay and DBSC will supply a shuttle service using their RIBs to run us to and from our boats.
We will depart at 0930hrs and have a leisurely sail/motor to DB. Rob Garner, a past member of DBSC, will chair a briefing in the Bellblock at 0900hrs. Please contact FCYC if you intend to come along and haven’t already done so.
Let’s hope for a good turnout and nice weather.
