Event Description: 

Event date: .

Our club's main annual event, the  Largs Regatta Festival , attracted a record 67 dinghies and 50 keelboats over the late August holiday weekend, with "round the cans" racing for keelboats and dinghies on Saturday 26th August, and our famous Round Cumbraes on Sunday 27th August.

Saturday's sunshine and light winds meant some postponements, but finally a good NW'ly filled in, giving good racing on the keelboat and dinghy courses. Then it was social and fun time ashore, with live bands in the marquee, children’s entertainment and food stalls.

Also on Saturday, the LYH based charity Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust, the official charity partner of the festival, led 17 boats on a cruise in company around the Cumbrae Islands, raising £1,500 from entry fees and clothing sales.

Sunday's race around the Cumbraes had the dinghies circumnavigating Big Cumbrae, and the keelboats doing a figure of eight around both the Cumbraes, plus a further circuit of Big Cumbrae for the fastest keelboats.

Largs SC sailors did well over the weekend, with Jon Bassett in his D-Zero winning his class, and taking dinghy of the weekend. Robbie Burns and Vicki Simpson took the fast handicap in their RS200,.and David and Ian Kent topping the catamaran fleet. In the keelboats, Carolyn Elder won in CYCA Class 5, and Brian Young the multihull class. Keelboat of the weekend was El Gran Senor.

The weekend's events were followed by midweek evening racing for keelboats on Tues 29 & Weds 30 August, and the dinghies competing in the 100 Guineas series over Tues 29, Weds 30 & Thurs 31 August.

Full dinghy results are in the attached files. There are fuller reports and many photographs on the LSC main and racing Facebook pages, plus these links:

Largs yacht haven

With 730 berths, and a safe and sheltered location on the Clyde at the gateway to the west coast cruising grounds among its many attributes, it’s not surprising Largs Yacht Haven continues to hold its reputation as one of Scotland’s finest marinas writes Sue Pelling

largs yacht haven regatta

Largs Yacht Haven, which celebrates its 40th anniversary this year, is located within the sheltered waters of the Firth of Clyde. Yacht Havens built and opened the marina back in 1984 from a stretch of virgin beach just to the south of the delightful coastal town of Largs and is now a notable Five Gold Anchor marina with a good reputation.

Not only does keeping a yacht at this marina offer peace of mind in terms of shelter and 24-hour security, but because of its convenient location (approximately 23 miles from Glasgow Airport, and with train connections) it also attracts commuters as well as locals. The allure of berthing a yacht at the gateway to the west coast of Scotland and spending the spring or summer exploring the western isles has become more and more doable thanks to improved travel links and budget airlines.

Its convenient location, and world class sailing area are also among the reasons why Largs has become a favourite venue for hosting national and international sailing events. The marina is home to Largs Sailing Club, the Firth of Clyde Coastal Rowing Club, Fairlie Yacht Club, and is the Scottish base for the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust. As you can imagine, it is a hub of activity throughout the year, with the August Bank Holiday Largs Regatta Festival, and the Scottish Two-Handed Race two of the most popular sailing events, which regularly attract a huge following.

Given its broad appeal, you’ll find the facilities at Largs Yacht Haven are high end and offer everything you’d expect from a Yacht Havens facility including the group’s friendly helpful staff that ensure your stay is as stress-free as possible. The marina is staffed 24/7 and accessible at all states of the tide.

Passage planning

The approach to the marina is via the Largs Channel and, from the south, is between Little Cumbrae Island and Farland Head on the mainland. Navigation lights mark the port and starboard breakwaters (occulting 10 secs). The deepwater approaches to the entrance are marked with a lit safe water mark. (L.Fl.10s).

Because the marina is well-protected by the adjacent Cumbrae Islands and the islands to the west, it is possible to enter the marina in most conditions. However, in a big breeze, significa

Cruising Aground

Given its location amidst lochs and islands, there is so much to see and do. The cruising is exceptional with interesting fishing villages and harbours to explore as close as a half-hour sail away. The inner Clyde provides an excellent opportunity for day cruising, while the more expansive west coast and Ireland are just a day’s sail away.

sailing-Clyde-Scotland-racing-near-Largs

For a short hop 4nm away, Millport at the southern end the Isle of Cumbrae is a good option. Known as the ‘Jewel of the Clyde’ this is a great spot for those with families because as well as a sandy beach, there are plenty of shopping, golf, fishing and cycling opportunities. 

For another short passage, head to Rothesay (Isle of Bute) just 6nm north. This is a pretty fishing harbour and a lively town with shops, restaurants, and pubs just a few steps from the harbour. The visitor pontoons are in Rothesay harbour and nearby Port Bannatyne.

There is plenty to see and do on Loch Fyne too, with Tarbert 22nm from Largs. This quaint and atmospheric fishing village offers fantastic views from Robert the Bruce’s 14th century castle and it’s a great place for a hike to the pretty shell-lined beach at the end of Pier Road.

Sail approximately 16nm southwest from Largs and you’ll reach Brodick on the Isle of Arran. With plenty of hills and beautiful views it’s another great place for hike, plus the village has lots to offer including hotels, restaurants, and a golf course. Brodick Castle is also well worth a visit.

A trip to Troon Yacht Haven – sister marina to Largs Yacht Haven is a must because as a berth holder not least because you get reciprocal mooring. It’s just 20nm down the coast from Largs and is blessed with beautiful scenery, and some of the finest golf courses in the world. It’s also a recommended place for fine dining with cocktails on the terrace at Scotts, which overlooks the marina.

Largs is not that far, relatively speaking, from Ardrishaig either, just 32nm taking in the scenic Kyles of Bute. Ardrishaig marks the start of the Crinan Canal, which is effectively a short cut to the Argyll coast and islands, Skye, and the Outer Hebrides and beyond.
