Seona from the staff team sent us this thank you snap of her collecting the sails and will share an update of the finished project upon completion.

Musters are back! Ardgour Muster – Summer 2024
Ardgour Muster, Saturday 17 August 2024
Musters are back! While your new GBC Sailing Officers have plans for diverse musters and the phased reintroduction of a keelboat racing programme over 2025–6, we felt it important to be able to offer something this season and have settled on a day muster to Ardgour.
Making use of similar tide times to our former ‘Ardgour Double’ day of yacht racing there and back, this brings an interesting ‘mini adventure’ through the tidal gates at Ballachulish Bridge and Corran Narrows with visitors’ moorings and the option of a nice pub lunch but, as a muster rather than racing event, is of course open to Club craft of all kinds.
Facts and Figures for Planning
Our proposed date of Saturday 17 August suits this particular trip, with Oban tide times and heights as follows:

Love Our Club day May fun and progress
Love Our Club Day May fun and progress
Love our Club day in May saw another fantastic member turn out, to help with maintenance and improvements to support growth of our club. Packed with fun and progress, it was also a wonderful opportunity to welcome new member Crispin who came along to meet as many members as possible.
The weather was somewhat drizzly, however that didn’t stop the progress, nor dampen the atmosphere.
The planters that were worked on last month are looking good, and some important maintenance was completed, Lots of Housekeeping around the club (indoors and out) with out of date, broken or no longer relevant papers, equipment and general “stuff” recycled or binned.
Last month, Ruth had mentioned how wonderful it would be to have a bench outside to enjoy a cuppa and watch those on the water in the sunshine.
New member, Crispin kindly had a bench ready for Ruth to test out even before the BBG was fired up! Read more
