Scottish Solo Area The HD Sails Scottish Series this year will consist of eight events including the Scottish Champs at some of the best sailing venues across Scotland both sea and inland. Some we have visited last year and some we are returning to after a few years and all o ff ering a very warm friendly welcome to the Solo class with fabulous sailing waters. To kick things o ff on 18 th April we travel to CCC’s Bardowie Loch where sailors are kept on their toes with small tight courses with plenty of wind shifts to contend with. Largs is our next venue a month later 16 th May as part of their One design regatta, Last year was glorious sunshine but very light winds so this year we shall be hoping for a little more breeze. June sees two events the first at Helensburgh 13 th June, every time we have been to this venue they put on a great event what ever the weather conditions. Chanonry S C will host the Scottish Championships 27 th -28 th June and several of the growing Solo fleet there have been out training since the middle of February in all weather conditions. We return after a few years to Prestwick SC 25 th July, a venue which o ff ers great sea conditions just in time for those travelling to the Nationals at Torbay at the start of August. Two Inland venues follow this when we go back to Loch Venacher SC 22 nd Aug a venue tucked away in the beautiful Trossachs, we had high winds last year with every sailor swimming at some point during the event! Our last Inland venue and Penultimate event ,and another venue we have not been to for a little while Loch Tummel 12 th Sept this will be part of their regatta weekend the Solos having an individual start. The Season final will be at Dalgety Bay SC 3 rd Oct, a venue which has tidal influence to consider every lap. Huge thanks go to all the clubs who have agreed to host the Scottish Solo fleet and to Andy Davis at HD Sails for his continued sponsorship, help and support of the Scottish Fleet.
