The management buyout of Port Edgar Sailing School is confirmed and the facility will remain open under new ownership. Thank you for maintaining the pressure that made this transition possible. We will monitor the transition process over the coming weeks to ensure all operations continue as planned.

Edinburgh leisure are withdrawing their funding of Port Edgar Sailing School at the end of this season and unless someone buys it, it will close. we need to show that people care and use it to keep it open.

I have requested a formal meeting with Edinburgh Leisure to discuss the withdrawal of funding and the long term viability of the sailing school. Documentation regarding community usage and economic impact is currently being organized for that presentation. I will provide a summary of their official position once the discussion concludes.

Such a shame. This is where everyone goes to get on the water and learn. Edinburgh leisure really dropped the ball on this one.
