Visiting yachts and cruisers 

A flotilla of yachts and motor cruisers are expected to come up the river again, all dressed overall
for a sunny weekend.
Space for visiting boats is now fully subscribed, but applications from classic and historic craft may still be considered.

The newest addition to Ocean Youth Trust Scotland's fleet, Alba Endeavour, will be alongside.  This Challenge 72 former BT Round the World Race boat now provides the opportunity for young people aged 12-24 to experience 'Adventure under Sail'.  Their three modern sail training vessels, based on the west coast, are operated by professional skippers and volunteer mates and will take over 800 young people to sea this year.  Do you want to be one of them?  Come aboard to take part in a free prize draw and to find out more about their voyage programme or how to become a voluntary mate (no experience necessary).

Watch out for the perfect photo opportunity, as the Loch Lomond Sea Plane will be taking
off and landing from the river at various times throughout the weekend.
