Regatta

"I could have sworn MacColl told me that the Ellan Vannin ended here."

A reminder that Thursday and Friday of this week are West Ardnamurchan Regatta days, with yacht racing on the Thursday and yacht, rowing, kayak, powerboat and raft races on Friday.

The Ellan Vannin to which Richard O'Connor refers is the name of one of the yacht races.  Ellan Vannin is the Manx name for the Isle of Man.  The Mann flag features a three-legged symbol, and the Ellan Vannin race has three legs.

Many thanks to Richard O'Connor for photo and quote.
