The 20th anniversary Five Castles Inter-Schools Sailing Regatta was held at Galloway Activity Centre on Loch Ken.
The event started in a modest way at Annandale Sailing Club in Lochmaben as the brainchild of Willie Patterson, with the idea being to give local schools in Dumfries and Galloway a chance to compete against each other and broaden the appeal of the sport of sailing.
The enthusiasm of the local community soon brought in the Solway Yacht Club and the event grew, necessitating a move to Loch Ken where the centre could provide for the numbers of children wanting to take part.
