The 2018 regatta saw the usual mix of weather that makes the West Ardnamurchan Regatta a fun and challenging event for sailors.
The Thursday morning race started in light winds and, with a good showing of five traditional boats and two modern boats, the fleet made leisurely progress across the Sound of Mull to Ardmore Point.
Soon the boats were well stretched out and, having given everyone a chance to get the hang of things and check that everything was working, the morning race was abandoned in favour of some well-earned lunch.
