Loch Ryan Sailing Club (LRSC) is a vibrant hub for water sports in Stranraer, United Kingdom. Founded in 2016, LRSC is a registered Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO) with the registration number SC049268. Eric, the club's enthusiastic organiser, invites both members and non-members to join in on the various activities and services offered at the club.
For those keen to gain qualifications, improve their skills, or just feel more confident under the guidance of an instructor, Eric ensures that LRSC provides tuition-based sessions tailored for everyone. Be it sailing, rowing, or paddleboarding, there are courses suited to all skill levels and interests.
Paddleboarding, also known as stand up paddleboarding (SUP), is a particular favourite. Eric oversees a range of courses designed for different abilities. The popular BSUPA Born to Ride – Junior Course is a 2-hour session teaching young participants the basics, from launching and recovering safely to basic paddle strokes and turns. It even touches on how weather impacts paddleboarding.
For those looking for a bit more adventure, the BSUPA Born to Tour – Junior Course offers a 3-hour session focusing on touring skills, efficient paddle strokes, navigating obstacles, and trip planning. Eric also makes sure there are BSUPA Ready to Ride and Ready to Tour courses available for adults wanting to learn or improve their paddleboarding techniques.
Eric encourages everyone to consider becoming a member of Stranraer Water Sports. Membership provides greater involvement with the club, access to various events, and use of the club's facilities. More details can be found on the LRSC website.
