The planned sailing of the Waverley from Largs today has been cancelled. 

Operator Waverley Excursions says the cancellation is due to a techincal issue with one of the ship's steam powered deck winches, which must be look at as a priority. 

The ship was due to sail from largs just after midday to Dunoon, Kilcreggan and Blairmore. 

Passengers who have pre-booked tickets for the sailing can transfer them to another available date or opt for a full refund. 

Waverley Excursions is currently contacting passengers to start this process.
