North & East Scotland Sailing (NESS) 

This group was set up in November 2009 and represents the interests of the sailing organisations in the following areas: Aberdeenshire, Aberdeen City, Angus and Dundee, and includes organisations from Dundee to Peterhead.

The group is one of the most well attended, with regular turnouts from over 10 organisations, which is remarkable given the geographical area covered.

This group has supported a junior sailing championship event this year, considered issues around clashing events, and has a number of up-coming events and plans.  

The Sailing Development Group Co-ordinator for this area is Simon Paterson, who can be contacted on sdg1@ryascotland.org.uk, or on 01309 690099.

Simon produces a monthly newsletter and is always keen to receive information to include. Please do email him with your contribution on sdg1@ryascotland.org.uk.

The Chairman is Ewan McPherson, Vice Chairman is Oli Webster, Treasurer is Henry Webb and secretary is now Angie Fraser. Thanks to Adam Wallace for taking on the role of secretary initially.
