PEELPORTS LARGS REGATTA WEEK HOTS UP!
A lot of planning is already underway for the 25th Largs Regatta Week sponsored by Peelports. This year’s event runs from 23 – 31 August and has a much bigger social programme to celebrate this special year.
The opening weekend, the Cumbraes Regatta, offers round the buoys racing (trapezoid courses) and figure of eight round the islands racing for both IRC and CYCA classes, as well as restricted sail and a new classic class. Class starts are on offer to Sonatas and Etchells classes with a special prize going to the best performance by a yacht over 30 years old.
Socially the opening weekend will relive the glory days of the Regatta Marquee with the brilliant Ragaels band playing in the evening, alongside a hog roast for hungry sailors after racing. All competitors and berth holders are welcome to come to toast the 25th event.
The mid week evening racing will again have the support of John Highcock of Saturn Sails doing sail trim analysis (with a difference) and on Friday 29 August the Scottsih themed regatta dinner will be enhanced by the after dinner speaking by Dominic McKay, Head of Communications with Scottish Rugby Union, as well as seasoned Two Handed sailor in previous Largs Regatta Weeks.
The event concludes with the famous brunch for the Two Handed Race competitors as well as the prizegiving for Yacht and Dinghy of the Week.
So check out the dedicated event website www.largsregattaweek.co.uk, like the event on Facebook and keep up to date with all the latest news. Make sure you come along to this year’s event which promises to be bigger, better and more social than ever before.
