Latest News

News of our many club activities restarting for the season! Wednesday evening racing is back, there are 50 young sailors and 17 adults busy in the LSTA’s sail training programmes, and our cruising sailors have just had a great weekend with a treasure hunt around the upper Clyde, and a social evening in the clubhouse. The next cruise in company is 23-24 May.

There’s a busy summer to come, with open dinghy events including our One Design Regatta (16-17 May), the International 14 Nationals (25-29 June), and the Optimist Nationals at the beginning of August. A highlight of the season will be the return of the magnificent Fife yachts in June, immediately followed by the Richard Mille Cup for yet more classic boats. Then Regatta Festival in late August.

In preparation for our One Design Regatta on 16-17 May, advantage was taken of the low water spring tide (and brilliant weather!) to clean the championship slipway on 23rd April.

Many thanks to the volunteers who took part, and to Carole-Marie Watney for the photographs.

All are welcome to come and join us for the first cruising group activities of the season, starting on Friday evening with some chat in the bar, then a shake down sail on Saturday, then reconvene in the clubhouse for maybe a carry in from the Courtyard Bistro, and some fun activities afterwards.

Largs Sailing Club

Largs Sailing Club was founded in 1936 (see our history pages), and is now based in a modern clubhouse in Largs Yacht Haven, just to the south of Largs.

The Club organises a range of activities for all ages and abilities, from the teaching of beginners by the LSTA to hosting large national and world championship events. We also run regular racing for dinghies, and keelboat events. Our active cruising section (sail and power) organises cruises in company around the Clyde and the west of Scotland, and holds regular talks and skills workshops.

Throughout the year, we hold quiz nights, talks with guest speakers, and themed evenings including dances and parties.

Our waterfront location gives us the best view in the marina. Our Lookout Lounge is a welcoming port of call for members and guests. It has a bar run by club volunteers, which is open for club organised activities. During clubhouse opening hours, members can access a range of snacks and hot drinks, with an honesty box.

Rooms in our clubhouse are available to hire for occasions such as business meetings, sail training, art exhibits etc., and are complete with wireless internet and AV equipment.

SPRING CLUBHOUSE, CAFE AND BAR HOURS

Spring is springing, and the season's activities are now in full swing, with sail training on Monday, Tuesday and Thursday evenings, and Wednesday evening club racing, so we have increased clubhouse opening hours accordingly.  The clubhouse is open from 0800 to the time shown below, and is accessible with the members' door code.

   Monday - junior sail training - to 10 pm. Bar open
   Tuesday - adult sail training and FYC racing - to 10 pm. Bar open
   Wednesday - club racing - to 10 pm. Bar open
   Thursday - junior sail training - to 10 pm
   Friday and Saturday - to 5pm. Bar open for functions - see calendar
   Sunday - bar open 2 - 5pm
 
When heading out to sail and using the changing rooms please bear these times in mind and if necessary take your bag out to your car and use the marina showers for after your sail. Hot water for showers goes off at 9pm weekdays, 6pm on weekends

Come in and grab a coffee or snack from our self service honesty café in the Lookout Lounge. We have crisps, snack bars and even pot noodles for sale. It is self-service and you can pay by card or cash. Please wash up any crockery or cutlery you use. Self service means what it says - we don't have "staff"!

Our bar is manned by club volunteers, and they reserve the right to close early if the day's activity has been cancelled, or the bar is quiet.

Please keep an eye on the Club website and Club Facebook pages for details of any socials in the club. Remember also that many members meet on Tuesday mornings from about 11am for coffee and a natter - join us!

​​Members can hire our main Lookout Lounge for private parties, and hire the upstairs office. Members and outside groups can book the Hems Kalis meeting room, with AV facilities. All have access to our high speed wi-fi.
