Mascotte attended Crinan Classic Boat Festival from the 2nd - 5th July. The festival is a celebration of vessels with wooden hulls.
The festival opened with the Puffer Vic 32 entering Crinan sea Lock with a pipe band onboard. Whiskey was provided to celebrate the opening of the festival.
Racing took place every day for the duration of the festival. Unfortunately light winds were not good for the pilot cutters. Mascotte, Mischief and Lizzie May were regularly at the back of the fleet. However, the racing was really a excuse to show of our sail wardrobes and for the boats to look at their best for photographs.
On Saturday evening, boat crew went to a Ceildh in Crinan Boatyard. We danced the night away and enjoyed exchanging stories about boat history and maintenance tips.
Sunday evening saw the prize giving and the close of the festival.
