Although mainly Clyde-based, the Club keeps a strong cruising presence on the West Coast with many boats based in the havens around Loch Shuna.

One of the highlights of the season for local boats of all sizes is the annual Round Shuna Pursuit Race, which attracts one of the largest fleets to be found in our waters, all contending with unusual enthusiasm to win the prize. One may think that after all this is normal enough, until it is revealed that the prize takes the form of a case of champagne.....

An additional point of interest about this race is that the Isle of Shuna may be left on either hand: the point in question is usually somewhere off Toberonochy, where the different persuasions meet - head-on.

Fortunately for the losers there is consolation - the winner is only allowed to keep one bottle of the bubbly - the consumption of the remainder must be arranged for on the spot. Thus all may sail home afterwards in true Corinthian good humour. (There is some silverware and other prizes, too.)

Feeder races take place the previous day from Oban, Ardfern and Tayvallich at various times dependent upon the tides.
