Over 300 competitors took part in the inaugural 3-day Largs Regatta Festival with the event highlight being a unique figure of 8 course around the islands of Cumbrae and Wee Cumbrae.

 
The newly formed regatta is one of Scotland’s biggest racing weekends with new sponsors that include Saturn Sails, Scotts (Buzzworks) and Moët & Chandon.
