Largs Boat Club
Pity such a beautiful West Coast location should have a popular boat club pond in disrepair. Sign of the time perhaps with many councils having reduced expenditure. But a disappointment travelling with my small grandson to sail his little Proboat Westward 18 for the first time. it's the first thing he noticed, no water.
Staff in the RNLI shop along the promenade said the pond had not been in use since last year. Here's hoping the council can organise repairs before next year's season. I couldn't resist buying a little model fishing boat from them the RNLI shop which now has pride of place in our kitchen shelf.

- rolfman2000🇬🇧Warrant OfficerWhat a shame. it looks such a lovely location for a model boat club. There must be some cash somewhere in the system which could just repair the pond and waterproof it. if there is a "current" club, maybe they could approach a local business to help with finances as a sponsorship. Heres hoping for a positive future. Best wishes, Dave W 😊What a shame. it looks such a lovely location for a model boat club.

- liamduck🇬🇧Master SeamanI love visiting Scotland and Largs is on my list. Hopefully they might have a functioning pond when I get to visit. My next visit is planned for Newton Park near Ayr next Easter time.I love visiting Scotland and Largs is on my list. Hopefully they might have a functioning pond when I get to visit.
