Haven Knox-Johnston has been announced as sponsor of the popular Midweek Series at the 2026 Largs Regatta Festival. The collaboration comes hot on the heels of its recent boat insurance partnership with Yacht Havens and helps to bring the local sailing community together for an action packed and fun filled week.

Running from 21 to 30 August 2026, Largs Regatta Festival encourages dinghy sailors, keelboat crews and catamaran racers to get out on the water for one of the Clyde's best-loved sailing events. Set against the backdrop of Largs Channel, Great Cumbrae and Little Cumbrae, the festival combines competitive racing with a strong social programme and a warm welcome for local and visiting sailors.

The Haven Knox-Johnston Midweek Series will take place from 25 to 27 August and is open to both dinghies and keelboats. For details on how to enter visit largsregattafestival.com.

Paul Knox-Johnston, Sales and Marketing Manager at Haven Knox-Johnston, commented: "We are delighted to be supporting Largs Regatta Festival through our partnership with Yacht Havens. Largs is a superb sailing venue, with a brilliant community behind it, and the Midweek Series is a great way to get even more sailors out on the water during the festival.

"Supporting events like this is an important way for us to give something back to the wider marine industry. A good regatta is about much more than the racing. It is the buzz on the pontoons, the stories in the bar afterwards and the chance for sailors of all ages to be part of something memorable. We are really pleased to play a small part in helping that happen at Largs."

Kirsteen Woods, Part of Largs Regatta Festival organising committee: "The Largs Regatta Festival team are very passionate about not only yacht racing in Scotland, but the inclusivity and team work that boating creates. We are absolutely delighted to warmly welcome Haven Knox-Johnston as our Mid-Week Series sponsors for 2026 as their core values fundamentally align with our own, making them the perfect partners!"

As part of the sponsorship, Haven Knox-Johnston will also be giving away a GoPro to one lucky entrant. The whole crew look forward to seeing sailors on the water at Largs Regatta Festival this August between the 21 and 30 August.
