Wanderer Scottish Open Championship at Cramond Boat Club Edinburgh
August 8 - August 10
Inaugural Scottish Open Championship and Cruising Event 8th-10th August 2025
This will be the first ever Wanderer race event to be organised in Scotland and at Edinburgh on tidal waters, thanks to Leonie Griffin at her home club. It will be well worth making the trip for anyone coming north of the border for cruising on the first day and two days of racing in the club’s open regatta. The dates coincide with the Edinburgh Festival for any members interested in enjoying the cultural as well as sailing fun.
