Scotland 2024

You will be aware that the International 8 metre World Cup returns to the West Coast of Scotland in 2024 under the burgees of the Royal Northern and Clyde and the Mudhook Yacht Clubs. We are very excited at the prospect and have already started planning to make sure it is a great event.

The Clyde has been intimately involved with metre class racing since the early days and it was very fitting that the centenary of the metre rule was celebrated here in 2007. It is equally fitting that you should return to help us celebrate another major anniversary. In 2024 the RNCYC will be 200 years old and the MYC a slightly more youthful 150. Three hundred and fifty years of sailing history takes some beating and we are looking forward to a big year here on the Clyde.

Its early days but it is never too soon to start planning. The World Cup will take place over the week beginning 19 August 2024 and we very much hope you will enter your boat and get the date firmly into your diary.

Our website will shortly be up and running and, along with social media, will become the main source of information. However, we also want to form a closer individual link with each potential entrant. We believe it would be helpful for you to have a personal point of contact who will be able to help with any local issues as plans develop.
