Wanderer Races at Cramond Boat Club Edinburgh

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.  

Accommodation

Clubhouse – there is shared space in the hall for those wishing to sleep overnight in a communal setting. This would involve tidying away bed rolls etc during the day. There are limited kitchen facilities -kettle, microwave, hob, oven, small fridge and freezer, crockery/cutlery etc
