PETERHEAD
Location: The Marina, Peterhead. On the south side of Peterhead Bay.
Entering Peterhead on the A90, the South Road from Aberdeen, follow the signs to Town Centre. The road passes the Bay and the marina is conspicuous on the right; take the road down the hill next to the new Maritime Heritage Centre.
Waters: On the sea, either within the shelter of the Bay of Refuge or outside depending on conditions. The coastline is predominantly rocky with a colony of seals living on the Skerrie rock, our usual offshore racing mark.
Launching: Down a slipway over a sandy beach within the shelter of the marina breakwater. Launching and recovery possible at all states of the tide.
Racing: Every weekend from April to the end of September. Frostbite series October to early January.
General: F15s are kept ashore in a secure compound next to a well appointed clubhouse. An RYA approved sailing school with a chandlery shop is next door to the sailing club. Peterhead is a commercial harbour; beware of shipping!
