ORGANISERS

The event is organised by the Joint Regatta Committee which comprises up to five members appointed by each of the three organising clubs, together with any other non-voting members the Committee chooses to appoint in order to increase its pool of expertise. Also on the Committee in a non-voting capacity are representatives of Tennent Caledonian Breweries.

The Week is run by a hard-working Race Team who give their time freely and willingly to provide the best possible racing and results service, sometimes under very difficult circumstances, and they are assisted by the fleet of Official Boats, some of which are chartered and some volunteered.

The team also receives assistance from the Clyde Corinthian Yacht Club and Inverkip Marina at the start of the Inverkip to Ardrishaig Race. Many other businesses, organisations and individuals also provide much needed help in making the event a success... thanks are due particularly to Jim Berry and his staff at Craobh Marina, Sue Price and Oban Marina staff, Tommy Barbour and BP Fuels Ltd, H.M. Coastguard, and the RNLI (though we hope they are not needed!).

The Joint Regatta Committee is also very grateful to EventScotland, the national events agency, for their generous award to help increase marketing activity around the event.
