On the Crest of a Wave-West Highland Yachting Week
From 27 July to 3 August, sailors from around the world will hit the high seas around Oban for West Highland Week- a fun-filled week on land and sea!
West Highland Yachting Week celebrates 70 years as Scotland's largest yachting event with competitive racing, plus a full programme of family social events.
The regatta is based around Craobh Marina near Oban and Tobermory on the Isle of Mull, and features a mix of passage racing with Olympic courses over six days, attracting upwards of 200 yachts. Designed for all levels, there are ten handicap classes, giving racing for both a spinnaker and a white sail fleet.
This festival of sail on some of the world’s most scenic waters is a favourite spectacle for landlubbers, too, who gather at vantage points in each area to watch the races or view the collection of beautiful yachts in port. Après sail there is an exciting programme of live music and family events.
