Serpent Yacht Club primarily set up for the medical profession and those with a link, however tenuous to it. There evenings of revelry and laid back racing style are now "infamous".

Kip has long been associated with Scotland’s Premier motorboat club and has supported many of their events over the years. The Royal Scottish Motor Yacht Club holds various "Musters" and events over the summer season and is the most pro-active powerboat club in Scotland.

The "North British and Strathclyde Police Sailing Championships" are on from June 9th to 15th with some 25-30 boats expected to be competing.

Kip is the base for many of the Clyde’s race boats and is used to dealing with the quick turn around that is required to keep "race boats" up and running. Several on site contractors have been servicing and repairing racing boats for many years. Rigging, GRP repairs, Electrical and electronic engineers together with Kips hoist and crane staff offer you an unrivalled 7-day a week service.
