Glencoe Boat Club

Here are the Sailing Instructions as promised by the Notice of Race:

• 2026-oban-to-ballachulish-bay
• 2026-glencoe-regatta

As previously stated, we can still accept late entries by arrangement, but please note that there is now no dinghy class for this year’s Regatta and it will be for yachts only.

If you’ve missed our 3 June Regatta entry closing date and still want to enter, please note point 11 of the Notice of Race:
‘Standard entry procedure will close on Wednesday 3 June, after which further entries will only be considered by special application.’

We can still take (and welcome!) late entries, but ask that you now email us on before submitting your form and payment. This is mainly because, while we can add boats easily enough, we can’t promise you dinner although we’ll do our best to arrange that too.

Please note also re point 12 of the NoR (‘Sailing Instructions will be available online at https://glencoeboatclub.co.uk/news/ from Friday 5 June’ etc.) that, while we still hope to have these up later tomorrow, it’s possible they may delayed till Saturday and we apologise in advance if that turns out to be the case.

Looking forward to seeing you at Oban and Glencoe! 🙂
