Two of us from Seil attended the SCRA weekend regatta seminar at Loch Insh in the Cairngorms, together with over 40 skiffies from across Scotland. It was most worthwhile, full of detailed hints and information.
This morning, we ran our own mini regatta, using the Portsoy and Ardersier skiffs, with a stunning backdrop of snowy mountains in the sun. Ewan stroked the winning composite crew (with an Islay bowman) and won himself a medal!
An excellent weekend of skiffie chat and camaradie, thanks! ‘Beautiful but Baltic’
