ONE of the Clyde’s favourite sailing events is making a welcome return as the Titan Spirits Clyde One Design Regatta takes place at Gourock this weekend.
The regatta, hosted from Royal Gourock Yacht Club, will welcome crews from across Scotland, with fleets of one-design yachts competing on Saturday.
Titan Spirits return as title sponsor. Stuart Drake, the company’s chief operations officer, founder and director, said: “We are delighted to once again sponsor the Clyde One Design Regatta at the Royal Gourock Yacht Club. It is fantastic to see the event continue to grow year after year, reflecting the enthusiasm and dedication of everyone involved.
“We wish all of the event committee and competitors every success for what promises to be a wonderful day of racing and celebration on the water.”
Race officials have planned a series of coastal courses that will provide excellent viewing opportunities
for spectators along the Gourock shoreline, with entries across five different one-design classes.
The regatta will also feature a lively social programme, giving sailors, volunteers, supporters and visitors the opportunity to celebrate the sport while enjoying the hospitality of the host clubs and sponsors.
Duncan Munro, committee chairman, said: “We’re delighted to welcome everyone back for the Titan Spirits Clyde One Design Regatta. This event has become an important fixture in the Scottish sailing calendar, bringing together experienced racers, emerging talent and enthusiastic supporters. I’d like to thank Titan Spirits and all of the other supporting sponsors, clubs and volunteers that help make the event such a great success. We look forward to another memorable weekend of yacht racing on the Clyde.”
