Scotland’s Boat Show 2021 Cancelled

Scotland’s Boat Show 2021 Cancelled With the uncertainty surrounding the ongoing restrictions imposed upon large scale events due to the Coronavirus pandemic, we are disappointed to announce the cancellation of Scotland’s Boat Show 2021, due to take place this October here at Kip Marina, Inverclyde. Our prime consideration is always the safety of our staff, visitors & exhibitors. Therefore, given the levels of safety protocols and the required changes to the show infrastructure, together with the uncertainty around further restrictions, we believe this to be the correct, albeit extremely disappointing, course of action. Presenting Scotland’s Boat Show each year takes an enormous effort, both from the team here at Kip Marina, and from our exhibitors who invest expertise, time, and money, to ensure a successful show. Consequently, we believe it prudent to make this announcement now, rather than risk a postponement later with a potentially damaging financial impact to our exhibitors. We would like to thank all our sponsors, partners, exhibitors, and of course visitors, for their past and continued support, especially the team at EventScotland for their support of the event as part of Scotland’s Year of Coasts and Waters 20/21. “Despite the huge effort already made by our […]

The Great Rotary Duck Race

The Great Rotary Duck Race You can take part in the Great Rotary Duck Race at Scotland’s Boat Show (actually you can’t take part unless you’re a plastic duck and if you are one, what are you doing reading this – shouldn’t you be in someone’s bath) when we release 200 numbered plastic ducks back in to the wild at the Kip River (that’s the river that runs in to Kip Marina) and see which of these speedsters crosses the finishing line first! There are two Heats on Saturday and again on Sunday with the Grand Final on Sunday afternoon when the winner will be crowned and served up with pancakes and plum sauce (That’s a joke and no ducks will be harmed in the race preparation). If you’ve always fancied a duck (insert your own joke here) you can sponsor one of these Yellow Fellows for the race at the Gourock Rotary Stand in the RYA Scotland pavilion and be in with a chance of winning a great prize and supporting the charitable work of Rotary in Gourock. To keep the SSPPD (Scottish Society for the Protection of Plastic Ducks) happy we will have Coastguards on hand in case […]
