West Highland and Islands Sailing Club Association WHISCA was formed to co-ordinate fixture listings of the associated Yacht, sailing and boat clubs on the western fringes of Scotland to try to ensure minimal overlap of fixtures in the area. A subsidiary function is to attend various meetings of the new bureaucracies in order to promulgate as required the resulting findings.

Tay Yacht Clubs Association
TYCA is an association of sailing clubs around the Tay estuary and
drainage basin, and the surrounding coast. It includes clubs whose main interest is cruising as well as those with more competitive ideals. TYCA clubs sail dinghies, keelboats, sailboards and catamarans.
The purpose of TYCA is to improve communication and co-operation between member clubs, to publicise each others events and try to prevent major conflicts in the dates of club events. TYCA also arranges for Tay Week to be held annually, usually in June.
Currently comprising a dozen sailing clubs in Perth & Kinross, Angus and North Fife, membership of TYCA is open to any sailing club or other body with an interest in sailing on or around the Tay.
