Muster 2012 programme is now available - Thursday 9 to Sunday 12 August -  with an extra day on Thursday plus a Classic Boat Rally - see Muster Next page for details

The 2012 Muster is also different because it is being run as a collaborative effort between ASC and Anstruther Lifeboat, St Ayles Rowing Club, Anstruther Round Table, and Scottish Fisheries Museum, meaning that many more events and activities can be supported

A further Muster Development Meeting between ASC and representatives of the above organisations is arranged for Tuesday 5 June 7.30pm at Burgh Chambers, Anstruther - ASC members wishing to participate in running the Muster are welcome to attend.

ABOUT ANSTRUTHER SAILING CLUB

Anstruther Sailing Club was established to promote boating activity in Anstruther's famous old fishing harbour, which was converted in the 1990’s principally to leisure use and now has over 100 pontoons. The Club’s activities include :

• Sporting and social association for anyone with an interest in boating in the East Neuk
   
• Representing interests of Anstruther harbour users
   
• Cruising the attractive coastline and harbours of the Forth and Tay estuaries, and expeditions to the West Coast and Northern Isles
   
• Holding club races and joint boating events with other Forth yacht and boating clubs, including the East Neuk’s local rowing clubs
   
• Hosting the annual Anstruther Muster - the biggest gathering of yachts on the east coast, and an increasingly important summer event for the community of Anstruther and the East Neuk
   
• Organising the East of Scotland Boat Jumble, held at the same time as the Muster
