Please bear this in mind prior to making your application.

Aberdour Boat Club has approximately 100 members at present with a variety of boats, mainly fin or bilge keel yachts a number of motorboats and sea kayaks. The boating season runs from April to October with a programme of cruises in company some club and inter-club yacht races including the annual Aberdour Regatta, fishing competition and escorted kayak trails..
