The Kyles of Bute Sailing Club The First Fifty Years. From its humble beginnings in 1953 formed by a dozen local residents, the KoBSC has been organising and encouraging sailing in the beautiful Kyles of Bute for 67 years. This abridged version gives the history of the club from 1953 to 2003.

More memories of the Kyles of Bute from the Para Handy stories, one local and another more generally about big yacht racing long ago. PIRACY IN THE KYLES AMONG THE YACHTS

For the duration of the Secret Regatta exhibition, 6 - 20 June, Tighnabruaich Gallery has asked for memories, stories, images and videos to describe our lives on the waters on Secret Coast. So, to start, here are some photographs of the Tighnabruaich Town Regatta in 1904. Chester Currie remembers his days sailing on on the big racing yachts, alongside some recollections of the Town Regattas of old here.
