Congratulations to North Berwick High School on winning the most prestigious Scottish Schools Sailing Championship (AKA The Brown Cup) on Monday 12th June at Loch Earn Sailing Club.

There were 33 schools represented with 14 teams competing. The collaboration, sportsmanship and friendship were evident. Saturday and Sunday were coaching days followed by fires on the shore and loads of fun.

The winning team were Ben Hay and Callum Masson in their 29er (2nd in the general handicap fleet), Peter Moseley (awesome in his ILCA 6), Rory Ferrier (3rd in the general handicap and 1st ILCA). Stru sailed well in an ILCA 4.7 (thanks McKinnons) and happily photobombed the winning team shot in support of his team mates.

As many of you will have noticed, our clubhouse roof is leaking, with tubs in the café and buckets in the attic, it’s clear that it now needs to be replaced to protect our much-loved clubhouse for the future.

The good news is that work is underway. Planning permission has been granted, and the project is expected to cost around £50,000. We’ve already secured a £5,000 grant from the North Berwick Trust, are applying for more funding, and will carefully use club reserves while keeping the club financially secure.

Fundraising will play an important part, and we’re keen to make this a fun and engaging process for everyone. Our target for this year, 2026, is £5,000. There are lots of ways to get involved
