Entries are now open for the RYA Scotland Scottish Club Trophy event being held on Saturday 22 August at Loch Lomond Sailing Club. The event offers the perfect opportunity for sailors under the age of 16 the chance to take part in a fun event as part of a team from their club. Aimed at youngsters who are just starting to race, this event will be a fantastic opportunity to learn a bit more about racing and travelling to events outside of your home club.
On the day all the competitors will take part in training in the morning and therefore will get a chance to pick up some tips from Scotland's top coaches to set them up for a series of races in the afternoon. The RYA Scotland team are encouraging entries for Optimists, Toppers, Fevas, Teras, Windsurfers and Hansas/Access dinghies.
So if you are keen to get involved with the Scottish Club Trophy then why not speak to your club about getting a team together, borrowing some club boats and maybe even doing some training sessions at your club in the run up to the event in August. Sailors who are part of the RYA Scotland Development Team are not eligible to enter to allow the event to focus to those just starting to race.
Entries are now open so make sure you get your team entered in plenty of time!

To encourage clubs to bring as many young sailors as possible, RYA Scotland are offering up a free day of coaching at their club for every 10 sailors that compete for their club at the Scottish Club Trophy event. Make 2015 the season to put your club on the map! There will also be free youth or junior RYA membership for everyone entered into the event so there are lots of great reasons to get involved.
The Scottish Club Trophy event is the perfect way to round off a summer of sailing for clubs and is a great way to get youngsters meeting new people their own age who also love sailing.
If you are looking for more information for your club or want to know more about entering this event then you can email Matt from the event organising team on
