THE SILVERS Marine Scottish Series will welcome more than 100 racing yachts to Tarbert, Loch Fyne, over the bank holiday weekend from Friday May 27 to Monday May 30.
Set on one of the most beautiful lochs in Scotland, this, the 42nd Scottish Series, is much more than just a yacht racing event – it has something for everyone both on and off the water.
For many it’s a ‘must do’ weekend in the UK racing and social calendar. The buzz of the event in the village of Tarbert and across at Portavadie provides a magnet of attraction for both locals and visitors. The influx of yachts, committee vessels and visitors by both sea and land and the accompanying shoreside activity makes it one of the busiest weekends in the year for the area and a destination in itself to enjoy. The event on the water is organised by Clyde Cruising Club (CCC) and has Silvers Marine, the well known boatyard at Rosneath, as the title sponsor. The series offers a mix of CYCA and IRC handicap racing including CYCA white sail classes. With passage races and a white sail cruise in company from Largs, family and cruiser classes and the Round Inchmarnock race on Sunday, the Silvers Marine Scottish Series is set to attract a wide range of enthusiasts by offering racing at different levels for four days or for just the passage races if preferred.
