Royal West of Scotland Amateur Boat Club is a Greenock multi-watersport club on the Clyde Estuary with sailing, rowing, paddling, swimming and social activity. Public introductory dinghy sailing sessions for beginners are currently unavailable because the club does not have enough volunteers to support them. Club boats remain available to competent family members, and children can use the boats when supervised by their parents.
