Club Event Booking & Membership System

 The Club was established in 1904 and is situated in the village of Kippford, on the Colvend Coast in Dumfries and Galloway.

An area of outstanding natural beauty, its traditional towns and villages, rugged cliffs, islands and inlets with secluded beaches are a delight. The area was much favoured by smugglers, and tales of their activities abound.

The Solway Yacht Club's situation on the Urr estuary provides for a variety of sailing from exciting dinghy racing in the shelter of the bay to offshore racing and cruising.

The Club has a strong Cadet Training Section with RYA Qualified Instructors.

Each August, 'Kippford Week' racing has become an annual pilgrimage for many families, from all parts of the UK. Please see Upcoming Events to the right for booking (there may be more than one page).

The Solway Yacht Club offers a cordial invitation to visiting sailors, however, Kippford is not really a suitable berthing area for fin keel cruisers due to drying moorings. 

To book, use Upcoming Events to the right  (there may be more than one page).
