Stromness Regatta 2022

Stromness Regatta, hosted by Stromness Sailing Club and generously sponsored by Highland Park, took place on Saturday, 16 July. 

The day was overcast but there was some sunshine and the temperature was around 13 degrees.  The wind was steady from the SSE in the range 8 – 14 knots giving good sailing conditions but not too much unwanted drama. Two races were held back-to-back and a total of 19 boats competed.
