Aberdeen and North East region
We are a friendly group and meet about once every 2 months. We can answer your questions if you are just getting started with the trust.
Meetings start at 6.30 pm in a member’s house (food is provided) or in a pub when we meet at 6:30 for pub food and the meeting starts after that.
We run social events such as visits to the Aberdeen lifeboat, the Maggie May historical lifeboat museum, the student’s show (supporting them and having a great time as well!). These are all accompanied by finding a suitable hostelry nearby.
Join our mailing list to be kept up to date with meeting details and what is going on by emailing northeast@oytscotland.org.uk
We raise money from local trusts, via the student’s union and through running RYA training courses. We also have an annual shore group weekend when we take over one of the big vessels, we have stands at boating and other events.
The funds are given as grants to North East youngsters, individuals and groups, to help them afford their own adventure under sail.

Training Courses
We are just starting up training in the North East of Scotland after Covid.
Aberdeen-based OYT Scotland volunteers and instructors run RYA courses to raise funds for Ocean Youth Trust Scotland to support young people from the region going on voyages with the trust.
The courses range from RYA Yachtmaster and day skipper theory courses run in the Northeast to practical courses run onboard one of the trust boats.
ASYC First Aid training, has been arranged for 26 Nov.
We will now run 2 one day diesel engine courses this winter.
For the winter Nav courses, 4 weekends are needed. We need a suitable venue before we can advertise so are maybe too late to get a course in before Christmas. A venue that would provide a big table each for 6 people for 7 days over 4 weekends is needed.
If you are interested in attending any of these courses, please contact northeast@oytscotland.org.uk for further details.
