Sail Caledonia
2020-05-23 - 2020-05-30 | Lochaber Yacht Club, Achintore Rd, Fort William, PH33 6 RN, United Kingdom
Sail Caledonia is the annual Scottish ‘Raid’ or expedition for boats powered by sail and/or oars which takes place in the Highlands of Scotland each May. Everyone who has taken part has acclaimed it a fantastic event and an experience not to be missed.
Using the Great Glen’s stunning and varied lochs and the 200 year old Caledonian Canal, a fleet of up to 25 boats sails, rows, races, explores and ceilidhs their way up the glen. Accompanied by safety boats, nothing beats sailing and rowing from the Atlantic at Fort William, through Fort Augustus and the mighty Loch Ness, to the finish in the Beauly Firth at Inverness, the Highland’s capital. Sea-to-sea via some of the world’s most stunning mountain scenery in the safety of an accompanied expedition for small boats.
Sail Caledonia is a friendly, open event for smaller (c. 5m – 9m) boats capable of completing the journey under sail and/or oar. Anyone can join providing their boat conforms in general terms to one of the classes and the safety regulations set out in the Notice of Race.

Texas 200
2020-06-15 - 2020-06-20 | Port Mansfield, Port Mansfield, TX, United States
The Texas 200 is a “Raid”-type event; that is, it involves a scheduled gathering of small boats traveling more or less in company from Point A to Point B over a period of several days, camping along the way. The Texas 200 goes through the Laguna Madre and the bays of South Texas for five to six days and about 200 miles. Shallow draft boats will have options in terms of routes through the bays, while deeper draft vessels will spend more time in the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW). For any who may be unfamiliar with the ICW, it follows the Atlantic and Gulf coasts from New Jersey to the southern tip of Texas, providing a more or less protected waterway of canals and bays for commercial barge traffic, an alternative to open ocean shipping.

CANCELED- Semaine du Golfe 2021
2021-03-17 | Gulf of Morbihan, Brittany, France
The 11th Semaine du Golfe on the Gulf of Morbihan, a natural harbor in the south of Brittany, France, is officially been canceled. The 2021 race week would have marked the 20th anniversary of the event.
Event organizers say the board of directors is following local covid-19 guidelines and add:
“We could not invite hundreds of sailors to gather convivially in the harbors without
being sure the restaurants and bars could be open. We could not welcome our friends
of the foreign delegations while imposing on them quarantine upon their arrival. We
could not either share the show of the nautical parades with thousands of visitors on
the shores of the Morbihan Gulf.”

The 11th edition will now have to wait until 2023.
