Saturday 24th August
Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust Treasure Hunt
Open to all motor and sail boats, participate in the Ellen MacArthur Treasure Hunt and support the Ellen MacArthur Trust with your entry fee.
For those who prefer not to race but still want to enjoy the excitement, this event is ideal. Each boat will receive a goody bag containing clues to the 'treasure' you need to find and photograph. Share your best photos or social media posts to win fantastic prizes, including a Scott's voucher, a bottle of Geraldo’s gin, and more.
The Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust team will provide a comprehensive briefing, and a lead boat will be available to guide you. The prize-giving ceremony will take place at Largs Sailing Club after the hunt.
Visiting boats please contact Largs Yacht Haven to book berthing.

After young people complete their treatments, the Trust's work begins to help rebuild young people's lives.
More than 400 young people have been supported in rebuilding their confidence after cancer by the Trust from their Largs base since it opened in late-2014. Many of these young people have returned to the charity in that time to sail again, building a relationship with the Trust across a number of years and creating lifelong bonds with the people they meet.

Largs Yacht Haven is also home to two of the Trust’s yachts, both sporting their iconic blue livery. Both boats have been uniquely adapted to accommodate sailors who suffer from physical needs. The Trust's flagship boat, SY Moonspray is a stunning 44ft yacht which celebrated its 30th birthday in 2019 while SY Caledonian Hero is a uniquely adapted Beneteau Oceanis 45ft.
