Shuttered for 30 Years, Historic Seaside Ugadale Hotel in Machrihanish, Scotland, Reopens

The historic Ugadale Hotel, Scotland, officially reopened last weekend.

Thirty years after closing its doors, the historic Ugadale Hotel in The Village at Machrihanish Dunes, Scotland, lives again.

The hotel was officially reopened last weekend by the Village at Machrihanish Dunes to great pomp and circumstance. The Duke and Duchess of Argyll, along with David Southworth, President and CEO of Southworth Development  LLC; Michael Russell, MSP for Argyll and Bute and Willie Roe, Chairman of Highland and Islands Enterprises opened the doors of the famed hotel with an official ribbon-cutting ceremony surrounded by invited guests and well-wishers.

The crowd cheered and the Machrihanish Dunes Pipe Band played as guests were escorted into the new hotel for the first time.

Guests enjoy the warm atmosphere at the bar.
 

The following day The Ugadale Hotel hosted an Open House welcoming over 1,300 visitors from the local community. Guests were treated to a tour of the hotel’s suites and rooms, the Kintyre Club Restaurant, fitness centre and spa facilities.

For many it was a chance to witness the results of a building that long stood empty and dilapidated but for a select few it was a step back into history with many of the guests reminiscing of special occasions once celebrated at the hotel.

Dine at the Kintyre Club Restaurant.

Once regarded as the pinnacle of luxury accommodation in the west of Scotland when it was alternately known as The Ugadale Arms Hotel and The Machrihanish Hotel, The Ugadale Hotel is again welcoming visitors following a year of careful restoration work. Book your stay here.

It is the first time the hotel has welcomed guests in more than 30 years. The new Ugadale Hotel offers 22 luxurious guest rooms and suites, many overlooking the Atlantic and famed Machrihanish Golf Club.  It features a restaurant and bar called The Kintyre Club, the full-service Serenity Spa and a Fitness Centre.

The hotel has a waterview.

The Kintyre Club Restaurant
Complementing the historic charm of the hotel is the The Kintyre Club, a warm and inviting restaurant and bar in a private club setting offering inspired dining and spirited good times that takes its name from the organization formed in 1825.

Then, a group of twelve altruistic Scottish businessmen with roots in the Kintyre region banded together with the aim of assisting those in need in the Kintyre community – a charitable effort that the new club will continue.  The Kintyre Club is a private dining area reserved for hotel guests and club members, with all proceeds from membership dues distributed to Kintyre-area charities.  Over 600 memberships were accepted over the opening weekend thus raising over £6,000 for charity. 

Modern Amenities with Historic Charm
With style and architecture that echoes its historic past, The Ugadale provides guests with modern luxuries in each of its spacious and comfortable suites and rooms. These finely-appointed spaces feature rich walnut wood and antique brass highlights, along with traditional Scottish elements.

The new Serenity Spa offers weary travellers, as well as local residents, high-quality spa services and treatments, including facials, body treatments, sport/full body massages, manicures and pedicures. Serenity Spa features top-of-the-line Decleor Paris products. Located on the ground floor of the hotel is a Fitness Centre with state-of-the-art fitness equipment and stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean outside its windows.

A Major Investment for Kintyre
In addition to bringing valuable jobs to the area, Southworth has invested over £ 19.3 Million ($30 Million US) to the overall project, along with grants from Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE) totalling £2.2million, including £886,000 from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) funding support.

In addition, HIE provided a grant totalling £ 509,606 for the development of the Machrihanish Dunes Golf Course which opened in 2009.  A special grant was also awarded to the Royal Hotel by the Scottish Ministers, through Historic Scotland under the Historic Environment Regeneration Fund and the Campbeltown Town Centre Regeneration Project (Argyll & Bute Council).

The Royal Hotel, the second historic hotel that’s currently being restored by Southworth, will offer in-town accommodations for guests of the Village at Machrihanish Dunes at its location overlooking Campbeltown Harbour.  It will feature 23 elegant rooms, a gourmet restaurant, and a lively waterfront pub.   The Royal Hotel is scheduled to open early May 2012.

Morris Yachts Officially Becomes a Marina with Addition of 180 Ft of Dock Space

Northeast Harbor, Maine, the gateway to Acadia National Park, and arguably one of the most desirable cruising destinations in the world, has just become more accessible with the addition of 180ft of dock space to the Morris Yachts Northeast Marina and Service Yard.

“Slip rentals are virtually non-existent in Northeast Harbor so to be able to offer slip rentals is a great service,” said Cuyler Morris.

Located within easy walking distance to shops, restaurants, transportation and endless outdoor activities in Acadia National Park, these slips are convenient and well serviced. Slips come equipped with water and 50amp or 30amp shore power.

Call Kirk Ritter at 207-276-5300 to reserve your slip.

Cruise to Newport/J Class Regatta: Sakonnet's Elegant Clubhouse & Warm Welcome

The next morning on our cruise to Newport was sunny and bright and we were ready to make our escape from Cuttyhunk. We fired up the stove for a breakfast of scrambled eggs, brown bread and English Breakfast tea and plotted the next leg to Sakonnet Point Club and Marina.

I had purchased a Garmin 640 over the winter and this trip was its first itinerary. It had worked beautifully the day before and it was stunning to compare our boat speed in the water via our TackTick instruments to the speed over ground which was nearly half that number due to the opposing current. Now it was to take us across Buzzard's Bay to Rhode Island.

The Sakonnet Point Club clubhouse.

We phoned Peter Sullivan, the affable and most welcoming manager at the Sakonnet Marina which is now affiliated with the Sakonnet Point Club, Little Compton RI. (Tel: (401) 635-2582, ext 402). For $25 you can be a member for a day and use their stunning clubhouse which was built in 2008 and overlooks the harbor. He assured us that he had a slip ready for us and out we went.

Avanti safe for the night at the floating dock.

The clubhouse is an elegant design and features beautiful, warm wood fit for a Hinckley yacht that guides you up the stairs into the bar and dining room. Peter had made a dinner reservation for us and a table was waiting at 7 pm complete with name card and view of the harbor with Avanti at the floating docks just below us. Sarah at the bar highly recommended their burgers and we spent an enjoyable evening watching the lights go down over the harbor and drinking a a satisfying glass of wine.

The dining room overlooks the harbor.

A fireplace for those cool fall evenings.

The next morning we set out for Newport after exchanging burgees with Peter, one of our favorite things to do when we cruise. The Sakonnet burgee is one of the nicest I've seen with three ducks in flight and the lighthouse embroidered in white on a field of red and blue. After a warm good-by and a promise to return, we headed out to bouy 2A and Newport.

Burgee exchange with Peter Sullivan. Peter, left, receives a WaterViewHome bugee. The Sakonnet burgee is beautifully embroidered.

Early the next day fisherman are already on their way out to work.

Catamaran vs. Monohull: Which Is Better? One Thing Is There Are More of Them

Discovery 50: CW 2011 Best Catamaran and Import Boat of the Year. Photo by Billy Black.

Catamarans are gaining ground on traditional monohulled boats in a number of ways. As a traditional monohull fan, I'm not happy. For one thing, sailing magazines are taking away editorial space, photo opportunities and pages away from monohull coverage. The June issue of Cruising World is a catamaran special.

The America's Cup has suddenly become uninteresting with mega-Cats with airplane wings for sails careening over the water, unless, of course, there's too much or too little wind for their captain's Goldilocks-just-right wind conditions. Curious and concerned about this trend, I wrote to the editor of Cruising World, Mark Phillsbury, asking him about the growth of cats. He was kind enough to send back a detailed and considered response. See our email exhange below.

Dear Mark,

I have enjoyed Cruising World for many years going back to my days at Golf Digest when the NYT owned the magazine. I have a question about catamarans. Why are we seeing so much of them in the magazine? Is the world changing?

As a monohull boat owner (Cape Dory 270), I get no thrill from reading or seeing cats in the magazine. Part of the wonder of sailing is the beauty of a boat under sail. You don't get that sense of wonder with a cat which looks more to me like a floating condo.

Can cat and monohull owners can be best served within the pages of the same publication? Do you think the current compromise is serving both markets well?  I'd be interested in your thoughts as well as your answers to my questions.

Many thanks,

David Lott

Hi David,

The reason you’re seeing more catamarans in the magazine these days is because more people are sailing them. It’s that simple. On the new boat front, it’s the segment of the market where sales continue to grow, meaning they are gaining sailors and owners and market share with each passing season.

In the Caribbean, the charter fleets really reflect this trend. The reason is pretty simple: they’re very comfortable vacationing platforms, don’t heel (the non-sailors love this), and some of the newer ones are actually quite fun to sail. And you’re hearing this from a lifelong monohull, antique 12-meter, Alden Schooner lover.

A month or so ago I was sailing on Sydney Harbor when a front came through with 40-knots on the deck. We were on a Seawind catamaran having a spirited ride while all around us the monos had rails and cabins in the water and crews scrambling to get their sails down and engines started.

Since CW does not cover racing, the fact that the America's Cup will use them is really not an issue. But, personally I think the level of excitement they’ll provide the sport will be a very, very good thing. Do I love to see the afore mentioned Gleam and Northern Light trade tacks on a summer afternoon here in Newport? You betcha, but man its fun, too, watching a bunch of AC Cats with their wing sails crash around the buoys like a swarm of mosquitoes. And then there’s the high-speed crash and burn factor...

At this point in the evolution of Cats, I’d guess we’re about circa 1965-1970 or so in the debate over wood vs. fiberglass. I well recall the days when the woodies looked with great disdain at anything plastic. Fast forward to present and the craftiest of the craftsmen are working in wood-based composites and building some very untraditional looking boats.

And now the glass guys with the old boats made to look like wood are trashing the tubby-sterned “marina queens.” The same is happening with cats. Maybe the older ones truly were dogs to look at, but the more I see some of the higher-end designs like the Gunboats, some of Morrelli and Melvin’s latest creations, etc., the more I ‘m finding they have their good looks, too. Different, but good.

CW does still run one Cat issue a year, but because our readers, or perhaps more importantly, our contributors are increasingly out exploring the world on two hulls, they really have made their way into the mainstream and find their way into just plain good old sailing stories.

And Maine! Cats are even finding homes in those quaint rock-strewn harbors Down East. In fact, with harbor and dock space at a premium (and sometimes a impediment to owning a boat), cats are an emerging alternative since they can be moored or tied up in much shallower water than a monohull with keel.

Here at CW, where I had the new-boat beat and Boat of the Year for a few go-rounds, I had to forego my preference for the Bristol 40s and Morris Yachts, and appreciate the fact that there are people out their who love their big white production boats just as much.

It’s the same with cats. If people like them and two hulls will get them out on the water, who is CW to tell them they’re wrong? It would be like me telling you that you shouldn’t enjoy a slightly dated, overly built boat with a full keel, even though she is a beaut!

Best,
Mark Pillsbury
Editor, Cruising World Magazine

Morris Yachts & North U Team Up to Give New Morris Owners Private Instuction

Three days of North U instruction for the buyer of this 28' Morris Linda, reduced to $99,000.

Cuyler Morris, President of Morris Yachts and Bill Gladstone of North U recently announced a new partnership that will benefit all new customers and owners of Morris Yachts.

Anyone who buys a Morris yacht will receive three days of private instruction from a North U Coach. Each customized program will be designed by North U to match the needs, skills and requests of each individual owner. For current owners, North U coaches can be hired on a per diem basis.

“Morris Yachts is always looking to improve the sailing experience for its owners,” said Bill Gladstone of North U. “ This is a prime example of Morris taking it to another level and we are proud to be doing our part.”

In broad strokes, Morris Yachts’ North U Course Offerings will include sailing fundamentals to advanced sailing; coastal cruising skills, to offshore passagemaking; racing basics to advanced racing strategies. The key to this program is the customization and the fact that training will take place on the owners boat.

However, if you're not a new Morris Yacht owner, you can still benefit from a North U course. See the 2011 schedule below.
