Doonbeg Currach Regatta Festival -
August 19th 2006


This is the third year of Traditional currach racing in Doonbeg Bay. Currach racing returned to Doonbeg after an absence of almost 20 years. Last year proved very successful. We had seven races in all. There were open, confined, ladies and naomhog races.
 Large numbers of people gathered to watch teams of rowers compete. The competitors travelled from all along the West Coast to show their skill in the use of these old sea-fishing boats. A presentation of trophies and prizes took place after the festival. A big Thank You to all our Sponsors.                                                

   

This year is an Open Regatta; we are part of Feile Na Mara regattas. The festival takes place on the 19th of August in Doonbeg. All rowers welcome. Again open, confined, ladies and naomhog races will take part. A Bouncing Castle is on site to entertain the children. Come and support this old tradition of currach racing.
