Hi Dan, welcome.
I spend many a happy hour sailing on the Murdieson Dam when I lived in Greenock.

they are a friendly bunch up there and there's usually a boat or two for sale in the club house........pop down from greenock and have a look........they meet on sunday mornings and ( i think) wednesday evenings.

The Largs club used to meet on Sunday afternoons when I was a member there.

Dan,
The Greenock club sails almost any evening during the "summer" and Sunday Afternoons, Largs was pretty much the same.
Why not just pop down and have a chat and have a look at the models.
