Once again Crinan Classic Boat Festival will be gracing the shores around Crinan, the Crinan Canal and surrounding area. After experiencing much success and popularity with the festival in the first two years the organisers are confident of another buoyant festival in 2009.

Bring your wooden sail boats, fishing boats, motor boats and dinghies to Crinan and we will keep you fully entertained with racing, haggis hurling, wild ceilidhs (Scottish dance), and whisky drinking! We are hoping to attract some of the Alfred Mylne yachts to the festival which will also be racing on the Clyde afterwards to celebrate Mylne’s era in the golden age of Clydeside yacht building. Set to be a spectacular regatta hosted by Ace Marine, please visit their web site, www.mylne.com

Crinan is a 350 year old picturesque fishing village located on the Atlantic side of the Crinan Canal, gateway to the Western Isles, and well known to Scottish yachtsmen. Enjoy racing round some of the most beautiful cruising ground in the world.
