What to Expect
Sail Caledonia aims to provide an opportunity for competitive and relaxed sailing and rowing in small boats and to encourage the use and development of such boats for cruising and 'expedition making'. In addition, the event provides a unique sample of highland culture - Along the way you will ascend Neptune’s Staircase, the longest staircase flight of locks in the UK, to the sound of the bagpipes and sail the mysterious Loch Ness, passing below the spectacular ramparts of Urquhart Castle.
Whilst completing the 66 mile navigation from coast to coast, one of the great inland waterway journeys of the world, there are many opportunities to stop and explore the Great Glen and surrounding areas. For accompanying non-sailing family members there are always a wide range of activities and entertainment provided by local communities and businesses with everything from white-water rafting to highland dancing on offer.
The combination of self-sufficient travel, competitive sailing and rowing, a vibrant ceilidh atmosphere, the many shore activities, and the spectacular scenery of the Great Glen all provided in the spirit of world-famous Scots hospitality will result in a truly memorable experience.
Sail Caledonia is an annual event and with so much to see and do, we hope that competitors will return for many years.
