Once again we provided a great weekend of beautiful boats, fascinating demonstrations, wonderful music, song and dance, delicious food and a host of activities for all ages.
The Festival would not happen without the support of the people of Portsoy and District and from our vital sponsors, to all of whom we extend our grateful and sincere thanks.
