Largo Bay Sailing Club is located at Lower Largo on the south coast of Fife.
The club offers access to the vast and sheltered waters of Largo Bay, which is protected from the prevailing South-Westerly swell by the Kincraig Headland. It provides a unique mix of conditions, from flat-water speed reaches near the sandy shore to more challenging Firth of Forth chop further out. The club atmosphere is traditional and welcoming, with a strong focus on dinghy racing and coastal exploration. It’s a reliable hub with great community support.
