Beginner
The club's current JustGiving charity page describes Loch Shin Sailing Club as an all-inclusive club for children from age 8, adults and families, providing water-based activities in a safe and fun environment. A recent public Facebook search result for a club post also described conditions as a beginner's breeze, but I did not find a current formal beginner course page.
Training· Unclear
I did not find a current official page advertising formal training, RYA courses, course dates, or a training booking route. Older and snippet-only references mention training or a training fleet, but they were not clear enough to treat current training availability as confirmed.
Loch Shin Sailing Club is an active SCIO and community sailing club around Lairg, with local evidence for dinghy sailing, family activity and mixed small-craft use on Loch Shin.
A public Facebook result refers to a successful 2025 open day, but that event is expired and I did not find a current upcoming open day, taster session, try-sailing date, or booking route.
The current JustGiving charity page says the club is for children from age 8, adults and families. The current OSCR register entry lists children or young people as beneficiaries.
Access
The current OSCR register entry lists people with disabilities or health problems among the charity's beneficiaries. I did not find current details for step-free access, accessible toilets, adapted craft, or an access-needs contact process, so the practical accessibility details remain unclear.
Costs
Costs, membership, and boats
Prices
No current membership, course, taster-session, visitor, or boat-hire prices were found on the checked current public sources. The JustGiving page is for donations and does not publish participation prices.
Membership
Companies House confirms active SCIO status; local news describes a resurgent family/community sailing club with boats, paddleboards and safety equipment on Loch Shin.
The current JustGiving page says the club provides sailing, paddleboarding, kayaking and canoeing, but I did not find current evidence of public boat hire, member boat borrowing terms, hire prices, or a hire booking route.
