Welcome

7 Welcome to the web site of the 4 Cramond Boat Club. wt

3 The Cramond Boat Club has its Clubhouse and moorings at the mouth of the River Almond, only 4 miles from the centre of Edinburgh. The Club caters for all types of small craft, including dinghies, small cruisers and motorboats. 1

q The River Almond is tidal with access to the Firth of Forth for approximately 5 hours each tide. The Club organises dinghy and keelboat racing on a handicap basis, and class racing is arranged when numbers justify it. The Club holds open regattas and long distance races each season. 4

ph The waters of the Firth of Forth are ideal for pleasure sailing and include many islands, sheltered harbours and attractions such as the world-famous Forth Bridge, the historic Inchcolm Abbey, Cramond Island, Inchkeith, the Isle of May, Aberdour and South Queensferry. 5
