Scaling Dam Sailing Club

Racing takes place on Sunday afternoons for slow and fast starts, and Wednesday evenings for general and personal handicaps. If you are not sure of your boat's handicap - check it out. You may also be interested in the racing results.

There is also a regular race for Juniors, ladies, Novices and Youths on Sunday morning.
