Royal Tay Yacht Club, Glenogil House, 9A Ogilvie Road, Broughty Ferry, Dundee  DD5 1LU

RTYC is one of Scotland’s premier water-sports clubs covering yachting, dinghy sailing with a 20 strong fleet of Dart18’s. The sailing area is on the lower estuary of the River Tay, the longest river in Scotland. There are many places on the river to explore by boat if visiting for a longer period, dolphins are a frequent sight during the summer months.

The new clubhouse opened in 2023 adjacent to the dinghy park, being only a few yards from  the 3 slipways and racing area, it is ideal for spectating. With motorhome facilities and camping on site, along with many local hotels in Broughty Ferry there are lots of accommodation options. Most local amenities can be reached via the cycle path that passes the club.

The club will be open from Friday lunchtime with a free BBQ in the evening. Food will be available throughout the weekend, either at our Beach Clubhouse within the dinghy park compound, or more formally from our Main Club. A social event is planned in the main clubhouse on the Saturday evening. From previous experience, this will be a notable evening with traditional Scottish hospitality…

First race on Saturday 8th June, not before 1200hrs and 1030hrs start on Sunday to allow people to get home in reasonable time. There may be some club boats available to use if visiting from further afield – contact the club for details.

Beyond the club, there are many visitor attractions in the area. Dundee is the home of RRS Discovery – Captain Scott’s famous ship, alongside the V&A museum and Verdant works – a nod to the Jute history in Dundee. Across the bridge in Fife is St Andrew’s, home of golf, and many coastal villages to visit and explore.
