Our classic sailing trips in 2019 included Shetland and Orkney day sails, Tall Ships Races to Denmark and Norway, cruising around the stunning Norwegian coastline, St Kilda and a fishing heritage tour to Faroe. There were also our usual School day trips and a charter to Norway by the One Step Beyond group - a group of young people from Shetland's Northern Isles. Enjoy our selection of images.
