Sailing in Ayrshire

Largs, situated on the Clyde, on the beautiful North Ayrshire coast, lies at the very heart of sailing country and caters for everyone from the absolute novice to sailing enthusiasts who relish very challenging waters. Largs Marina and Fairlie Quay Marina are both within a few minutes of the Woodhouse Hotel and Inverkip, Ardrossan and Troon are less than a half-hour drive. The village of Fairlie, just two miles away, is the home of the world-famous Fyfe Boatyard. These spectacular yachts were built to the very highest standards by skilled craftsmen, working right on the beach and without the luxury of sheds, hoists and all the modern tools available to today's builders.
