Ceilidh Cup & Scottish Student Sailing Match Racing Championship 2022

 Royal Northern & Clyde Yacht Club looks forward to hosting annual RYA Summer Match Racing Series event

The annual Ceilidh Cup / Scottish Student Sailing (SSS) Match Racing Championship will take place this weekend, 8-9 October 2022, with a sell-out entry hosted by the Royal Northern and Clyde Yacht Club in Rhu.

Part of the RYA Summer Match Racing Series, it is Scotland's sole annual match racing event and this year entries are full with 9 teams, including 6 Scottish university teams.

As many of the university teams are new to the match racing scene, this event offers a first taste of match racing, with entrants often going on to compete at British university or RYA match racing events, if not further afield.

Principal Race Officer Eilidh Millar added: "The forecast for this weekend is typically blustery but we hope to find sufficient shelter in the Gareloch to complete our busy race schedule of 52 races."
