Join us aboard the tallship Lady of Avenel Sailing as we sail through the West of Scotland on a musical voyage of discovery.

Led by Shetland fiddler, songwriter and sailor Barry Nisbet, we will sail from Kyle of Lochalsh through some of Scotland’s most spectacular coastline, to destinations such as Raasay, Skye, Plockton and more.

We will be joined by top traditional musicians who will lead us in workshops and masterclasses, and in sessions alongside the communities in the places we visit.

Feel the breeze in the sails and be inspired to take your own music to a new level. Visit our website or email sessionsandsail@gmail.com to sign up!

The Camden Classics Cup promises to be one of the world’s most beautiful regattas – sailed where the mountains meet the sea off the lovely harbortown of Camden, Maine. The Cup gives sailors the time of their lives with terrific on-the-water racing, and stellar onshore partying.

Presented by Lyman-Morse at Wayfarer Marine in conjunction with the Camden Yacht Club and with support from the CYOA, the Camden Classics Cup is a celebration of both classic yacht racing and boatbuilding.

Organised by the Bridlington Sailing Coble Preservation Society and The Coble and Keelboat Society, probably the two main coble societies in the country, and in full co-operation with the Bridlington Harbour Commissioners.
Once the mainstay of the inshore fishing industry, this open, wooden working boat, propelled by a dipping lug and jib foresail, could be seen at every port and coastal village from the Humber to the Tweed; referred to by many as the ‘coble coast’; during the 1800s and through to the early 1900s. Sadly, with the advent of more modern boat building material, together with the need to work more larger pots further offshore, this iconic craft is fast disappearing from the coast. The opportunity to see some beautifully restored examples of this traditional fishing vessel under sail creates a true nostalgic atmosphere of days gone by.
The organisers would be very pleased to hear from anyone who would like to take part in this fantastic ‘Festival of Sail’.

Around 12 cobles are expected and other traditional craft.
