Seamanship & Pilotage Trust
The Clyde Cruising Club Seamanship & Pilotage Trust was formed in 1984 as a Charitable Trust set up by the Clyde Cruising Club primarily to promote the following aims:
-
to educate the public in the knowledge and practice of seamanship with a view to improving safety at sea
-
to provide facilities for recreation, connected with sailing, for young people, especially those from deprived areas, with a view to improving the conditions of life of such persons
-
to organise courses and provide special equipment to enable handicapped people to sail
-
to advance the education of the public in the practice of pilotage and coastal and ocean navigation
-
to assist in the preservation of craft, property and navigational and other records of significance in connection with the sea and sailing
One of the first projects of the Trust was the acquisition of six Optimist Dinghies and Trailer. Administered in conjunction with the RYA Scotland this project has proved to be of a tremendous success with young prospective sailors. The dinghies may be borrowed by a club, school, or youth club and give endless hours of sailing practice to young people. The Trust owns Bardowie Loch where the dinghy section have a clubhouse and organise sailing during the Spring, Summer and Autumn, for all ages.
The Clyde Cruising Club fleet of challenger trimarans are kept and sailed at Bardowie. These boats are used for all types of disabled people and full training facilities are maintained at the Loch. Anyone interested in helping with or sailing these boats is invited to contact Bardowie or the Clyde Cruising Club office.
Assistance has been given to many worthwhile projects over the years both ashore and afloat. Many deserving individuals whether members of the Clyde Cruising Club or not have received help from us in many ways
With your support we hope to be able to achieve our aims and any gift you are able to make will be most gratefully received.
The Trust also looks after two small trusts which are in place to help pay for crew on Ocean Youth Club boats especially in Scotland. Application for these grants should be made to OYT or the CCC Trust.

The Minches and Outer Hebrides Coastguard Forecasts
There has been a change to the way the forecast for the Minches and Outer Hebrides areas is broadcast. From January 1st 2009 the area has been split into two. For more detailed information check the amendments to the Sailing Directions.
The Coastguard has split the Ardnamurchan to Cape Wrath forecast into two parts: The Minches and the more exposed areas (see plan below). Note also that Stornoway Coastguard no longer broadcasts the Caledonia area forecast.
In addition to the BBC Shipping and Inshore waters forecasts, local forecasts for the area from Ardnamurchan to Cape Wrath are forecast by Stornoway Coastguard.
The area is divided into two: 1 Ardnamurchan Point to Cape Wrath, excluding the Minch and extending upto 12 miles west of the Outer Hebrides and 2 The Minch bounded by lines from South Uist to Rum in the south and the Butt of Lewis to Lochinver in the north.
Initial announcements are made on ch 16 and thereafter the forecasts are made from the following aerials; Arisaig ch 23, Sound of Sleat ch 86, Portree ch 84, Melvaig (Loch Ewe) ch 23, Stornoway ch 84 and Butt of Lewis ch 86. Listen for the strongest signal on these channels for optimum reception.
Forecasts by Coastguards are made at local time; i.e. the 'clock time' that the broadcast is made remains the same throughout the year. The forecasts by Stornoway Coastguard are made every three hours commencing at 0110 and thereafetr at 0410, 0710, 1010, 1310, 1610, 1910 and 2210. In addition, Clyde Coastguard also broadcasts forecasts for area 2 every three hours commencing at 0210 and thereafter at 0510, 0810, 1110, 1410, 1710, 2010 and 2310. The times given are not precise as forecasts may be delayed or omitted during casualty working.

Centenary Dinner - Thursday 19 November 2009
This special dinner was held in the Crowne Plaza Hotel, Glasgow, with special guests and speakers. The event took the place of the Club's annual ball for one year only so the prizegiving and dancing, which will be held on Saturday 28 November, was replaced by the chance to meet old friends and chat.
Initial reports back from those that attended the Centenary Dinner in the Crowne Plaza Hotel indicate that a fabulous night was had by all.

Cruise in company to Rothesay and Centenary Sail Past. 11-12 September 2010
You are invited to join the cruise in company and the Centenary sail past - 11/ 12 September. This is the final event to celebrate the Club’s Centenary. You will find more details about the Cruise in company - leaving Rhu, Inverkip and Largs in the Club Yearbook 2010 (page four).
It would be appreciated if yachts would fly the Club burgee to assist in identifying participants and take the opportunity to dress overall having arrived at Rothesay. Colours being stuck at 18:30 hrs.
The Club has arranged berthing at Rothesay Harbour for the Saturday night. The buffet-supper and dance will be held at the Rothesay Pavilion. We are keen to accommodate as many member’s yachts as we can in the harbour so please register with the Club office - telephone 0141 221 2774. Berth spaces are limited and not everyone will be assigned a berth and some rafting may be necessary. Club volunteers will be helping the Harbour staff with the berthing.
Please order and pay for your tickets for the supper and dance at the same time to avoid disappointment. The evening will commence at 19:00 with a drinks reception followed by the buffet at 19:30 and then dancing - there will be a licensed bar available. The band is the George Ogilvie 6 and they will be playing something to suit everyone.
The buffet tickets are £20, under 12s are £10. Discount is available on berthing when registering, payable on arrival at Rothesay.
On Sunday following the ‘Sail past’ the flag officers would like to invite you to join them in Wreck Bay. They will be rafted up, weather permitting, and you are invited to come aboard for a suitable celebration.
We hope members who were unable to take part in the Centenary Cruise on the west coast in July will be able to join us for the cruise incompany and sail past - the final event in our Centenary celebrations - full details of the Sail Past weekend can be downloaded here.
