Midsummer in the Minch
Midsummer 2021
In an effort to appeal to all keelboat sizes we intend to run the Midsummer in the Minch social "race" during Friday afternoon and evening arriving in Gairloch Friday night (25 June). Come along in your boat just for the fun, or race to make your "opposition" crews sit up. If you fancy joining in and dont have a boat cntact us. Saturday (26th June) there will be a regatta in the bays and around the islands and buoys of Gairloch for those who wish, or just a visit to the local area. A full social and race-filled (for those who want it) weekend with a Minch prize, a Regatta prize and overall event prize. Return to Portree or wherever you hale from in Skye Sunday 27th June
Vice Admiral's Cup
Saturday 28 August (tbc)
A day of racing around buoys set within Portree Harbour – minimum of three races within sight of the massed crowds on the pierhead or looking down from the Lump.
Round Raasay Race
Coming as soon as the weather is favourable for 2021
Your own boat handicap start time and a fixed end time… can you pass the boats in front or stop those behind passing you. Different race dynamic and a great test of pure sailing ability rather than crafty race tactics – far less stress fuelled at the start!
