Navigating Success at the Largs SplashMaps Sailing Club Championship

Testing Winds, True Seamanship, and a Championship to Remember

Largs, and sailing in the Firth or Clyde proved choppy!

Over the weekend of 31st May to 1st June, the waters off Largs Sailing Club became the stage for one of the most exciting events of the Scottish sailing season—the Largs SplashMaps Sailing Club Championship. With wind conditions ranging from challenging to downright unpredictable, it was a true test of navigation skills, teamwork, and seamanship for all participants.

At SplashMaps, we’re incredibly proud to have sponsored this prestigious club event, supporting the community of sailors with prizes as practical as they are coveted: our sea-proof fabric navigation charts and soft rapid drying sailing towels, to go with some impressive silverware for the top teams.

Our Champions

Largs Sailing Club Champions

A huge congratulations to Cameron McDaid, and the team of Phil and Carol Alderson, who navigated both the course and the shifting winds with exceptional skill.

In conditions that tested even the most seasoned sailors, these champions proved their mettle and fully earned their places at the top of the leaderboard.


Sea-Proof Sailing Charts – Not Just a Prize, But a Tool for Every Sailor

Well deserved winners

Our unique fabric sailing charts are designed to withstand the rigours of open water. Whether you’re facing spray, wind, or an unexpected dip in the sea, these durable maps won’t tear or fade. Used by racers and cruisers alike, they make navigation reliable and seamless—even when digital devices fail. And our sailing towels, equally tough and sea-ready, are fast becoming a staple in kit bags across the UK.
