The Corryvreckan Whirlpool is situated off the west coast of Scotland between the islands of Jura and Scarba. It is one of the largest permanent whirlpools on earth and it is said that at certain times the roar is so loud that it can be heard ten miles away. At full strength the currents can reach over 10 knots and produce waves over 9 m high. With proper planning, sailing through the Gulf of Corryvreckan is a hugely impressive experience. #MustSeaScotland Scotland offers sailing as it should be… there’s space and freedom. And the choice to do a lot – or do next to nothing – in this spectacular setting. It’s uncrowded and unspoilt, and life here moves at a different pace. People come specially to see basking sharks, puffins, seals, dolphins and eagles. They sail. They walk along beaches and coastal paths, explore local history and photograph their surrounds. They eat fresh seafood at stylish cafes and vibrant marinas. They enjoy the friendly traditional pubs. They browse shops in bustling coastal towns and villages. They picnic on beaches that are near-deserted, even in the height of summer. Or just sit and watch the tides, the sunsets and the stars.

The Mediterranean yachting season continued in style with Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez. See the Rolex film trailer for this week-long nautical festival, which annually gathers some 4,000 sailors for intense racing along the Côte d’Azur. Among the 300-plus modern, classic and Wally yachts competing in the 20th edition was the 110-year-old classic Viola, a gaff cutter of rare beauty awarded this year’s Rolex Trophy after winning the Fife Jubilee event.
