New members are welcome (children can sail from age 8). Fisherrow is an RYA Recognised Training Centre with 3 instructors. It is a welcoming and friendly community sailing club with a good-size function room, well-kitted kitchen, a training room and a cosy bar for members/ guests (open 9-11pm Fridays and at events). They were short-listed in 2017 as an RYA Scotland Club of The Year and published a book with the club's history in early 2018 to commemorate its Diamond Jubilee (60 years). FYC welcomes Sea Scouts, Runners, the Yarnbombers (demon knitters!) and the Eskmuthe Rowing Club. The club fronts on new Street plus has a boatyard opening direct onto the promenade with access across to the beach for dinghies going out racing, on funsails or for sailing instruction. Some members have yachts in the harbour, just to the west.

I come here once a month with the running club. Facilities are basic (could do with being spruced up) but it's a warm place to meet and get changed etc. They're open to members on a Friday night for a few hours. The bar is run on a volunteer basis which is quite quaint. In summer this place is busy. Great place to join if you want to make the most of the fresh sea air! Also a good place to get the kids involved in sailing (provided they can swim of course ;) )
