The Sail and Oar Gathering on Tanera Mòr has grown organically from our relationship with Turn to Starboard, and is aimed at bringing together local, maritime & service communities. We look forward to a day of sailing and rowing, sharing food and sharing stories; seeing old friends and making some new ones.
