After a reduced sized event in 2021 Largs Regatta Festival came back with a bang with full scale social events and over 100 dinghies and keelboats taking to the waters of the Largs Channel and Firth of Clyde.
Generously sponsored by Scottish sailmakers, Saturn Sails, together with coastal launch company, Coastworks, the event staged two full days of racing and two lively social events in the Regatta marquee.
In the dinghy classes the catamaran class was won narrowly by Brian Hillesdon over many times Scottish champions David and Ian Kent. In Fast Handicap (mainly D Zero dinghies), local LSC member Alastair McLaughlin narrowly took the overall prize from Jon Bassett, and in Slow Handicap father and son Robbie and Luke Burns in their RS200 wiped the floor with 4 firsts and discarding a first.
Dinghy of the Weekend was awarded to Robbie and Luke Burns with Yacht of the Weekend going to John Kent in Farr E Nuff.
Thanks are due to the many volunteers from Largs SC and Fairlie YC. The Festival concludes with the Scottish Two Handed Race round Arran and Holy Island.
