RFYC One Design Weekend – Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 August
RFYC have over 20 entries so far. Most yachts do not have engines so will need free access to the outside of the pontoon over the weekend. Best to keep the pontoon as clear as possible but if you do need to use, please use the inside. Any yachts left unattended on an outside berth will be moved.
Thank you in advance for your co-operation, which will be much appreciated by the folk who do not have to move your boat!

Destination Inchkeith Harbour– H.W. 1225hrs (B.S.T.)
For the fourth and final in our series of ‘Cruise in Company’ events the proposal is to head to Inchkeith Harbour. The tides are still ‘neepie’ (range 2.6m) and wind forecast is for light westerlies (7 – 9 kts). Getting there should be easy sail or motor sail (trail your mackerel lines!) but looks like it will be an iron spinnaker home. Once in the harbour berthing is likely to be to raft up – similar to the arrangement we had at Burntisland.
Meet at Granton on the pontoon at 11.00am
Enjoy your picnic lunch and refreshment while rafted up with other club boats and for the more energetic – a wee dawnder up to Inchkeith Lighthouse might be in order.
Enjoyable motor/sail-in-company back to Granton aiming to leaving the island around 2.00pm
Everyone encouraged to join in the cruise including families, children, dogs and dinghies!

Ahoy Corinthians – Destination Burntisland – H.W. 1326hrs (B.S.T.)
For the third in our series of ‘Cruise in Company’ events the proposal is to head to Burntiisland Harbour. The decision is based on forecast westerly winds being around 15 – 20 knots (gusts). A sail to Burntisland is a relatively straight sail for those light handed and with young crew. Once in the harbour preferred berthing is to raft up in the inner harbour which is well sheltered. diagram here – Forth Corinthian Yacht Club – CiC July 2016
Meet at Granton on the pontoon at 11.00am
Enjoy your picnic lunch and refreshment while rafted up with other club boats and for the more energetic – a wee dawnder ashore might be in order.
It’s also Burntisland Sailing Club’s Regatta on Sunday and I have contacted the commodore to alert him to our plans and I have asked if we can visit their clubhouse. I’ll let everyone know on Sunday if this is possible.
Enjoyable sail-in-company back to Granton aiming to leave Burntisland around 2.30pm/3.00pm
Everyone encouraged to join in the cruise including families, children, dogs and dinghies!
