The Onshore Programme.

The St. Kilda Challenge includes a festival held in the Lochmaddy area. Starting on the Thursday to welcome the sprint and flotilla participants prior to their race it continues during the Friday whilst the yachts head to the St. Kilda Archipelago. As the yachts return on Saturday the social programme kicks back into high gear as the local community also welcomes the passage race fleet from Rathlin Island alongside the sprint race and flotilla fleets.

Details of the onshore social programme that ran in 2018 is listed below for an idea of what you can expect in 2022. Full details will be released in mid May 2022
