The Lady’s 2024 season started last week with lots of sketching, painting, and a beautiful sail across the Sea of the Hebrides to the Isle of Barra from Oban.

Huge thanks to our wonderful artists and crew for making it a great start to the sailing season.

Sketch and Sail is back again later this year for more, with autumnal colours galore at the start of October. A final few spaces open if you are interested in joining us.
