Royal Findhorn Yacht Club

[3] After the war club activities recommenced, and from the late nineteen fifties there was a significant increase in both cruiser and dinghy sailing.

Every four years, RFYC hosts the UK & Irish National 18 ft Dinghy Championships, with boats coming from Scotland, Ireland, England, Wales, and the Isle of Man.

The National 18 fleet has evolved from a heavy clinker built dayboat into a lightly constructed GRP fast dinghy, requiring a crew of three.

[4] Findhorn Bay is a large sandy estuary with a narrow entrance that is some 3 kilometres (1.9 mi) wide and long at its greatest extent.

A long sandy bar stretches from east to west making an entrance at lower stages of the tide hazardous if not impossible.
