Sailing events

There are various sailing events during the summer that if you are cruising you may want to avoid, or you may want to join in. Either way you need to know when and where they are:

Malts Cruise is a well established cruise in company between several coastal distilleries in the area. It seems to have changed its name from the Classics Malts Cruise, I know not why.

Crinan Classic Boat Festival is a relatively new event based on Crinan and held in early July, of course you have to have a classic boat to participate.

Round Mull Race is a rather good three day passage race from Oban to Tobermory on the Friday, to Bunessan on the Saturday and then a long leg back to Oban on the Sunday which these days is shorter than it was - to off the SE corner of Mull. It is in early July.

Scottish Islands Peaks Race is my favourite and I have been doing it since 1991 - a very amusing and tiring weekend in mid May.

West Highland Yachting Week is the big one week event with several hundred boats racing and lots of jolly shore parties from Craobh Haven to Oban to Tobermory and back to Oban.
