Most yachts have white or off-white hulls. There must be good reason for this - perhaps yacht manufacturers subscribe to a similar dictum to Henry Ford's, "A customer can have his car painted any color he wants as long as it's black." So it was refreshing to see that the three yachts moored in the bay last Thursday were all different colours, and very smart they were.
The first was the
Gulliver. She looked to be a boat of mature years, and may have been flying the Dutch flag.
This was the
Lizzie Browne, and she had the added distinction of having red sails which went very well with her unusually coloured hull, while....
....this one, whose name was printed so small it was unreadable from the shore, had cheerful dark blue sails to go with her smart blue hull.
All of which leads neatly to a reminder that the next big event in Kilchoan is the Annual Regatta, which takes place over two days this week, Thursday 26th and Friday 27th. Full details are
