Classic Malts Cruise 2007

Just returned from skippering one of the press boats for Diageo during the Classic Malts Cruise.

This annual 2 week whisky extravaganza is becoming established as one of the best event in the Scottish sailing calender.

This year saw fairly light winds for the first half of the trip but increasingly better sailing towards the end.

The final sail up from Islay last Friday was excellent with a good F6 westerly and average sailing speeds of 8-9 knotts.

Pictures to follow...
