Welcome to the Forth Cruising Club, a sailing and cruising club based on the Forth estuary.
Forth Cruising Club has been in existence for over 50 years, based at its clubhouse and pier at Capernaum Pier, Brucehaven Harbour, Limekilns, some two miles upstream of the Forth Road and Rail Bridges.
It is a small friendly club with around 90 members. In the past it was a keen dinghy racing centre, but its current activity is predominantly in cruising. There are around 60 boats, mainly in the 17 to 35 foot range, including a few sailing dinghies. The club programme includes day and weekend cruises to various destinations as well as a racing programme including an annual regatta, and club races. A number of social events and activities are held throughout the year.
Most boat owners winter their boats ashore at the club. During the sailing season the majority of boats are moored at Brucehaven Harbour and Limekilns Pier (which are both tidal) while some are based at the all-tide facilities at Port Edgar Marina on the Edinburgh side of the Forth or other clubs around the Forth. Power, water and a workshop are available at Capernaum Pier. The club hires a crane in April and October to lift the boats in and out of the water. The clubhouse has changing rooms, a meeting/function room and kitchen facilities.
Forth Cruising Club has a Community Amateur Sports Club registration – CASC01828
