Kinghorn Sailing Club

Pleasure sailing at Kinghorn has a long history, with records of the Kinghorn Yachting and Boating Club, as it was called then, going back to the 1880s. Details exist of the Second Annual Kinghorn Regatta in 1890, which attracted the inshore working boats of the day - sailing yawls, rowing skiffs and the like.
