The club is based in Burntisland docks which are owned and operated by Forth Ports plc. The club has a large clubhouse and a fenced storage compound normally used for winter storage of boats. Water and power are available in the compound. Moorings are available for approx. 20 keel boats ranging from 15ft to 30 ft in length. All moorings are accessible at low tide.

The usual sailing season is from April to the end of September. A crane is hired twice a year for the crane in which is in mid/late April and a crane out in early October. The crane is operated by the hire contractor with the support of banksmen provided by the club. The club compound is available for winter storage. Costs for the craning are shared amongst boat owners. Winter storage and mooring costs are based on boat length.

The Club owns a workboat for maintenance of moorings and buoys.

The club house has extensive views of the Firth of Forth from the Bass Rock to the Forth Bridges. Facilities include a Galley, Toilets, Showers and Changing Rooms.

Club racing is on Monday nights and a combination of cruises and races on a Friday evening. Club races are selected from a range of local marks depending on wind conditions. The races provide a good opportunity for all members to improve their sailing skills. There are three main open events during the sailing season, the Regatta, Stern Chase and Mazzoni and Costello races.

The Regatta is an open race around local race marks. The Stern Chase has an allocated start time depending on the handicap for the boat. This race, in recent years, has been to Dysart, Kirkcaldy, Granton and North Queensferry. The Mazzoni and Costello races are held on the same day and is also a Forth Inshore Group race.

Club races are based on the FYCA handicaps with allowances for not using a spinnaker.

Burntisland Sailing Club is a member of the Forth Yacht Club Association (FYCA) and is affiliated to the RYA.
