This years race is being organised by Jim Hughes. Jims ethos for the race is that he wants as many boats on the water as possible. If it floats, get it out! This is a fun race run by the club for its junior and youth sailors but we would love to see families and friends together on the water. We want to see Mums & Dads (as crews), and we want to encourage the youths to take the helm. It is not all about who comes first, there will be a mix of prizes, from the best turned out boat, the best dressed crew, to the youngest helm to mention a few.
We are seeking to grow the paddle Board/Kayak participation. More to follow, but for those with paddle boards and Kayaks, rest assured an orientation race is being prepared!!.
This year, the event is kindly sponsored by a local company ‘House of Coolmore’ who specialise in handcrafted bespoke kitchens and furniture. We thank House of Coolmore for supporting this race, and we would ask our members to see all their wonderful offerings at www.houseofcoolemore.com
