Dundee University Sailing Club is the University of Dundee sailing club, with beginner-friendly sessions at Royal Tay Yacht Club, dinghy team racing at Monikie and yacht sailing from Port Edgar.
The official sailing page says the club runs open sailing sessions every Wednesday at Royal Tay Yacht Club. The Sports Union Give it a Go page listed a sailing session for Wednesday 21 January 2026, but that date has passed, so it is not treated as current availability.
The checked official pages describe a university sports club and student sports union route, but no current junior or family sailing offer was found.
Access· Unclear
No sailing-specific accessibility, Sailability, disabled access, or adaptive sailing information was found on the checked official pages. The Sports Union handbook does describe general student wellbeing support and equal-treatment expectations, but not venue access details.
